a case of a beautiful woman with a mental crisis
Sounds more like an emotional crisis rather than a mental one.
she had problems with her husband who was mean and jealous
Exceedingly rare to find a "beautiful woman" without a "mean and jealous" (add controlling) husband/boyfriend close by.. This holds true generally but is even more applicable in Cambodia/Southeast Asia, a kingdom of small, insecure men.
The authorities contacted the husband, who came to fetch his wife..sending them both home.
Holy shit! Out of the frying pan...

Very astute police-work this. Contact the person at the root of her desperation, bring him over, cause him to lose face by "educating" him, then send both on their way so he can get her alone & do some "educating" of his own.
she was quite pretty and looked older
she knew only what had been told her

Young Woman Cries Her Mother's Death
Image
Phnom Penh: On the afternoon of May 2, 2021 at the Chroy Changvar/Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge in Srah Chak commune, Daun Penh district, Phnom Penh, an 18-year-old woman factory worker was heartbroken by the death of her mother and decided to jump to her death from the bridge.

Thankfully, she was not able to do so, due to the authorities' timely intervention. The young woman, a native of Preah Vihear province, is currently working as a factory worker in Bek Chan, Phnom Penh, but when her mother died, she could not even go to the funeral ceremony to say goodbye because it is impossible for her to go to Preah Vihear because of the lockdown in Phnom Penh.
