Personally, I try to stay away from cheap SxS or O/U guns as their barrel regulation and build quality tend to really suck. Add to that that a SxS REALLY needs to fit well in order to shoot well, I would vote against it. A 20 gauge semi might be better.if she truly can't handle a 12. I know women in their 70s that shoot 8# 12 gauge O/Us, but they do that by shooting light 12 gauge loads. No more than 1oz running 1200 in a gun that fits should be the ticket.
Most importantly, let your wife pick out what she wants to shoot; go to a club and see about renting/borrowing as many different guns as possible.
