To prevent extreme epileptic seizures
Neurosurgeons have severed the corpus callosum in human patients as a treatment for severe epilepsy. This procedure, known as a corpus callosotomy, can reduce the spread of seizure activity between the two hemispheres of the brain.
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.

The corpus callosum
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.
