The charge, framed under Section 380 of the Penal Code, provides a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a fine if convicted. During mitigation, lawyer Qurratu 'Aini Zafirah Mat Shoib, representing the accused, said her client, who has a six-month-old child and is supporting a 76-year-old ailing father, committed the offence due to financial pressure. "My client is unemployed, while her husband has just found a job after the family moved from Sarawak to here (Kuala Lumpur). She is in a desperate situation and has no money to buy necessities," she said.
