Same person?
Apparently a person have double set of parents and husbands, and I think she is actually 2 person.
G6TK-L75
So how do I figure out which one is who?

Not only does she have two husbands, but she is having children with both of them at the same time.
The first thing to do is look at merges. There were probably one or more done incorrectly.
Yes. If you go to her change log and filter for merges, she has one. When you click on Merge Analysis you see:
Here are two women with complete and completely different birth dates, christening dates, and parents who were merged with the reason given "Same person." (Here is where you give a big sigh and shake your head.)
So the first step to correct this is to restore Kari KHKC-JKQ ( https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/KHKC-JKQ ) by going to her page and clicking Restore Person:
Then you need to go back to Kari G6TK-L75 and removed any and all information that was put on her record due to the merge, including all the incorrect family relationships, including sources. Restoring does not remove those.
If you have any questions about how to do any of this, let me know. Fortunately not much has been done on the combined record after the merge.
Also, be sure to fix the source attachments. I see that the combined version of Kari currently has two 1891 census records. Unfortunately, FamilySearch's version of that census does not have an overview of the family. I like working from the Digitalarkivet's transcription much better because is does list the entire household together.
Here are the two Kari:

living at the two different farms with their two different husbands.
In a situation like this, it is extremely important to restore the lost person and not to create a new profile. If you don't restore, then you just leave an even worse of a tangle on the incorrectly merged person.

I see that you have a note about marriage sources on Kari's combined record. Looking through the sources, there are sources for the marriage of Kari and Tov and for the other Kari and Guttom on the profile. However, the user that entered the couple information slipped and typed in 28 March 1884 when the date in the sources is actually 28 March 1874.

@Trine SA Since it has been over a week and you have not replied or made any changes in the records for the two Kari, I have started working on fixing their records since the Kari that was deleted is the wife of my wife's 9th cousin four times removed.
I did record my first steps in fixing things and I could throw together a short presentation showing what I did if you would like.

Now that I have fixed both records and attached full information, sorted out the sources to the correct person, and added more sources, if someone tries merge these two they will see:
I think the original problem arose because their names birth places, and birth dates are so similar that the hint engine could not tell them apart. In particular for census records there were incorrect hints I had to dismiss as I was sorting them out. Then when wrong sources got attached, they probably showed up as possible duplicates. Then someone was not paying attention and just merged them. This should not happen again.
