what could have been the condition that put emily in such situatuion?

It appears to me that you are writing a paper for a school assignment. Another answer has referred you to a place where the book is discussed in some detail. I'll add another suggestion.
There is another well-known fictional person whose subsequent life revolved around an unfaithful bridegroom, Miss Havisham in "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, a classic that Faulkner must have read and may have had in mind when he wrote about Emily.
Dickens wrote a long book, and I was bored by it when I read it in high school. Many years later I liked it a great deal, but you don't have many years to develop a taste for Victorian literature. Fortunately, there are splendid movie versions of "Great Expectations" that will tell you all you need to know about Miss Havisham, certainly enough that you can contrast what she did with what Emily did. And that should be enough for most English teachers.
