The sister should talk to the Imam at the Masjid they go to or his wife- perhaps the Imam could speak to the husband and teach him what the Qura'n says about how to treat his wife. If he is a true Muslim then Allahs (swt) words should move him.

THe question won't be answered because to do so would be to ultimately tell the women to leave if in fear for her safety. I know everyone would like to think men will follow Quranic injunctions when it comes to letting their wives leave if they fear harm but abusive men don't work that way. Also there are those who will give many many excuses for why the brother had no choice but to beat her (I always hear the lovely excuse of manly men having a hot temper), and sisters who will advice her to go home and try harder. This is why, more often than not, any sister leaving an abusive man will have to leave the Muslims out of it entirely and seek outside help (Gasp!)- it is all very very sad. If only we could truly take care of our own, like we should.

Assalamu Alaikum:

I have been down that road, mashallah. Believe me, it will never stop unless the brother gets help. Alhamdullilah I got out. There is an organization called http://www.sista2sista.org where they help muslimahs in these types of situations. Allah is the best to plan and may He help us, Ameen!

What are some resources for women's counseling? What if the family is not familiar with the masjid, what if the woman wants counseling from a Muslim woman professional, maybe with a mental health education? Do you know where to start looking.
