It's just a mistake, this is in fact a woman.

If you bothered to look at the page, it's written below she was awarded the title for winning an event.

I don't know, if it's a really strong tournament with a lot of high rated players, then I suppose it's fine. Other times though it really does seem like a give away. Some people work for years and years to achieve that.

Exactly

I checked the tournament where she got the title and it seems that she got it by scoring 4.0/7 and defeating four unrated players. Weird.

On further research, I found that the girl who came first in that tournament got the WFM title. She did score a perfect 7/7 but I don't think having a perfect score in such a weak tournament should get her a title.

100% agree. And the other girl didn't even win? What place did she come in?

FIDE has automatic titles for certain events based on the scores in the event.

It's still stupid that a 15 year old 1107 beats 4 unrated players and gets the WCM title

She came 3rd. You can check the tournament details on her profile page. Just scroll down a bit and you'll find a link.
