I heard that someone who hold the one way ticket might be stopped and need to prove that they had the capability to buy a return ticket. The money support might be required during the application of the visa, but not for flight boarding. Let her buying a return ticket might work. Also, you'd better call for the local embassy to check it. It is not advisable to transfer the money before everything is clear, just to be safe.
