The charge, framed under Section 420 of the Penal Code, provides imprisonment for up to 10 years and a fine upon conviction.

Judge Azrul Darus allowed the woman, who is two months pregnant with her fourth child, bail of RM15,000 with one surety and also ordered her to surrender her passport to the court and to report herself once a month at a nearby police station.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Raihanah Abd Razak prosecuted, while lawyer Luqman Hakim Azhar represented the accused.
