they egg him on until he loses control and hits her.....the wife wins, but she takes a beating.

I had to read this several times and take a few breaths before responding. It's just that domestic violence issues
is a touchy subject with me, because I had to bring two good friends through abusive situations. Also, during grand jury duty in 1996, I had to hear a 911 tape of a woman getting the living daylights out of her with an aluminum bat by her husband (with their 5 year old son howling in the background). You never forget the sound of a blunt object hitting flesh and bone and hearing the victim literally crying for mercy, and a small helpless boy crying for daddy to stop.
Based on this, my opinion is that
nothing a woman can do justifies a man beating her to death. I guess I'd need to know what your definition of "egging him on" is, because I don't care if she's calling him the spawn of Satan, he needs to learn some self-control and anger management, if he feels the need to beat a woman down just because he doesn't like what she's saying.

not much you CAN do from outside. unless you are willing to keep the guy in a body cast until she wises up and leaves forever.

Well, again, based on personal experience, you *can* do small things that hopefully will add up to the woman having a light bulb moment, and leaving the jerk.
