She is being forced to choose between being "greatly penalized" (which I am
assuming is a hefseid merubah, since that's pretty much a translation, though I
don't know the penalty) and being forced to violate geneivah.

Is geneivah in such a case huterah or dechuyah?

I ask because being forced to violate geneivah is also an undesirable. I'm
trying to understand if it qualifies as a hefseid merubah.

Tir'u baTov, and Gut Shabbos or Gut Voch!
