Dr Sanugi, a former dean at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), became suspicious of his wife's gender when he found the serial number of her MyKad ending with an odd number, which usually denotes the male sex.

Judge Abdul Walid Abu Hassan of the Kuala Lumpur Syariah High Court fixed April 23 to decide on Dr Sanugi âs application to get a court order for Sri Wani to undergo a DNA test to verify her sex.
