This chart pertains specifically to the last chapter of the book, "A Broken Heart." In this chapter, Leila's husband is decided. There are four potential candidates: an aunt's lazy son, Wakil's son, her cousin Khaled and Karim. Although she didn't know Karim very well at all, Leila hoped very much that her family would choose him because he was the most appealing of the three. This chart demonstrates what seems to be the factors in her family's decision of a suitor for her. In no particular order, they look at wealth, respect and family. It is important if the suitor is well-off and can care for the daughter. Preference is also given to suitors within the family. The respect of the individual is also taken into consideration, the family doesn't want a daughter going to a less than worthy family.
