For the benefit of other posters, here is her departure registration from Bergen:
click here
She arrived at the Port of New York on May 8 and was traveling with two young men from Floro, they are listed above her in the Bergen list:
Karl Stavang, 21, laborer
Reinhardt Olaj Johnsen Snilstvedt, 25, laborer
All three of them were going to the same person, Gustav Hovig, 7133 May St., Chicago, Illinois.
I thought that she might have been involved with one of the men but I easily found them in the census’ and Karl (Carl) Stavang married a woman named Johanna and settled in Minnesota, he died in Oregon in 1980.
Reinhart Snilstvedt appears to never have married, he settled in South Dakota and in the 1930 census was a farm laborer.
Unfortuately, I haven't been able to find anything about Malla. The 1910 census was enumerated in April, 1910, one month before she arrived in America.

The passenger list has two pages, after 1907 there was more information on the lists.
You can try www.cyndislist.com but Illinois isn't the greatest state to search in, not like Minnesota. I tried searching the Illinois databases and couldn't find anything on her but who knows what first and last names she went by in America and where she eventually settled.
www.vitalrec.com leads to local genwebs and societies but I did
not find anything for her there. Chicago is in Cook County. Illinois has a State archive but the marriage index only goes to 1900:

There are a lot of Chicago microfilmed records available for rent on familysearch.org but there are no marriage records that would apply for your time frame:
www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitydetails&subject=198450&subject_disp=Illinois%2C+Cook%2C+Chicago&columns=*,0,0" target="_blank">http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitydetails&subject=198450&subject_disp=Illinois%2C+Cook%2C+Chicago&columns=*,0,0
In 1910, Gustaf Honek was living as one of four boarders with Lars & Hilda Larsen at 1733 May St., Chicago. He was 50, married, immigrated 1906, car repairman for the Railroad. Everyone was born in Norway. Lars was a foreman for the railroad.
