    social burdens are not worth abuse or your life. Encourage her to leave now. If she is in America we don't tolerate that here. Call the police and have him arrested. Tell her to press charges and go to a shelter for protection. That's what shelters are for... to help women in her situation. Just because that guy married her and supports her doesn't give him the right to beat and rape her. And it is rape if you're married and you refuse.Please please help her to leave. It doesn't serve well for the child to witness this.

    If this matter happen in Singapore, she is protected by the Women's Charter Act. Get her Personal Protection Order from the Family Court and then ask for a fix amount of maintenance fees from her husband. If he abuse her further, divorce him base on unreasonable behaviour. Even an animal abuser needs to face the consequences. What more she is a human being.

    battered women shelter is best option, they will get her and the child out and help her get educated and into the work force. they will also help with housing and personal needs. they will also help her get a protection order and help her file and get divorced. Please encourage her to go soon before the worst happens. Good Luck.

    She should call the police and have him arrested, then divorce him, and take everything he owns.
