 The book is then challenged on the basis that many 'facts' in Khouri's story were asserted to be incorrect or unfounded, including statements about geography (such as the run of the Jordan River through Amman, and the countries bordering Jordan) and restrictions requiring women to wear the hijab and have a male escort when they travel outside the home (contrary to depictions of women walking unescorted and uncovered).It is also noted that no business owners on the street where Dalia was said to have been killed remembers such a crime ever happening, and unisex salons do not exist in Jordan.In regards to the supposed aftermath, an ambulance would not have taken Daila's body away as the police attend to a murder scene, and Dalia's father (her murderer) could not have remained out on bail pending his prosecution because murderers in Jordan are not given bail; further, honor killings are also not tried in Shariah court.
