Knox exposes alleged inconsistencies in Khouri's story of honour killings in Jordan and of the details of her own personal life. Knox communicated with Amal al-Sabbagh of the Jordanian National Commission for Women. al-Sabbagh claimed that her investigations revealed 73 'errors and exaggerations' within the text of Forbidden Love. Knox, through the auspices of the Sydney Morning Herald, discovered significant inaccuracies in Khouri's claims in relation to country of residence and family relationships.
