Do your friend a favour and keep getting her to talk about it. Try to break through the "her" that he has programmed and the "her" that she needs to get out of this mess.
Seriously...if it's really that bad, there are organizations that would tell her to leave *immediately* and go to a women's shelter if necessary.
Also realize you might not know the worst of it.

agreed. Be frank and upfront about your real concerns. Keep it factual, not emotional, and continue to discuss. I tend to be a rather non-violent person, but that does not mean non-confrontational. Some guy at a party who puffs up and attempts a stare-down if someone happens to speak to his mate is likely to get called on the carpet very quickly in my circle of friends, both men and women.
