As an example of nuances in Italy once there was strict law regarding ransom for kidnap cases that would immediately freeze all bank accounts of your close relatives.
This did not make it illegal to pay ransom and also gave the victim family a reasonable justification for not being able to pay.
Compared to just putting the victim between a rock and an hard place it looks like a nicer option.

This seems so absurd. Freezing banks accounts cause so much issue to everyone involved, you just made an incentive not to declare a kidnapping and trying to solve it without interference from the police. For sure you'll see much less bar if you make drinking illegal, but believe me, they are still there ;).

If the family manages to get money in another way then they can choose to pay.
