But the court rejected the plea.
The girl, a bedoun (uncertain identity), said she was born as a boy but a medical error during a surgery at a local hospital resulted in the removal of all male sex organs. Her lawyer rejected the court sentence and requested medical examination to prove his client is originally a man.
