You said she has already been beaten up once, so she should just let him deal with the costs. If he won't pay, he can starve. She needs to consider the divorce immediately, whether it is a shameful separation for her or not. This man... he is disgusting. He deserves all the bad things that in the end will come to him, wait and see. Tell her to be strong and brave. To leave him as it will not get any better and she has a life in front of her. To go to her parents and take what is hers. Let's see if he can deal with things. And most of all - be strong and stand by her decision. Once she does it, she needs to carry it through. I am sorry she gave him a second chance. But that man... he will pay one day for what he has and is putting her through.

Good luck, and God bless.
