If we are truly trying to have equality between the sexes then you should not try to claim that it is always wrong to hit a woman. As with any other person attacking him, the retaliation may have been justified.
One thing I would check is to make sure that they both are thinking clearly. There are a surprising number of women who are in abusive relationships that they really want to get out of but do not simply because they are scared (as nonsensical as that is). This goes for the guy as well.
If they are both OK with the incident then it is a victimless crime; if they both decided to beat on each other all day what business is it of yours? If you decide to end the relationship it is because you have problems, not him.
I also take issue with the statement that violence is never justified against anything, but that would be another thread.
