This is plausible, as a veil is part of the standard female-slave attire in Tashbaan. Interestingly, it's stated in the text that they were hoping anyone who saw Aravis would assume that the princess was going to give Aravis away as a present to some other princess, so at least sex-slavery wasn't ''necessarily'' involved in Tashbaan's use of this trope, but then again, this is a book meant for children...
