I’m not very interested in RLJ, but the neither of the standard choices of kidnapping or elopement work for me character-wise. I have another idea of what happened which better fits the characters IMHO, but I’m not really sure how well it jives with the deep details of RLJ. A lot of this actually hinges on Ned’s and the Martell’s feelings. If this doesn’t work, I’d like to hear where it falls apart and I'll go back to being irked by neither kidnapping or elopement gelling with the characters.
