To prevent extreme epileptic seizures
The corpus callosum is sometimes surgically cut in a procedure called a corpus callosotomy to reduce the severity and frequency of seizures in patients with severe epilepsy that cannot be controlled with medication. By cutting the corpus callosum, the spread of abnormal electrical activity between the brain's hemispheres is limited, reducing the severity of seizures.
The two hemispheres of the brain are connected by a thick bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. This structure allows for communication and coordination between the two hemispheres, enabling them to work together in processing information and carrying out various functions.

Sheep brain corpus callosum compares human corpus callosum in a number of ways. These areas of the brain serve similar functions.
The large bundle of axons that connects the two halves of the brain is called the corpus callosum. It plays a crucial role in allowing communication and coordination between the two hemispheres of the brain.

This is certainly not normal in the sense of average or typical. The corpus callosum of some individuals has been severed in order to control severe epilepsy; I don't know if that surgery is still performed. If the woman was born without a corpus callosum, that would be an extremely rare condition.
