In her book "Princess Sultana's Daughters," author Jean Sasson expresses her frustration over romantic relationships formed under unrealistic circumstances. She argues that if men and women could interact in normal settings, the tendency for instant love would diminish. Genuine love, as exemplified by the relationship of her sister Sara and her husband Assad, is not common and often develops over time and shared experiences.

Sasson highlights the risks of spontaneous emotions that arise when social interactions are limited. When encounters occur under rare or extraordinary circumstances, they can lead to misunderstandings and personal tragedies, suggesting that healthier relationships thrive in more stable and everyday environments.
