Women shouldn't tolerate violence in marriage. This is a huge problem of our time. I believe this woman did the right thing because her life was on the edge. No person in the world has the right to deprive you of the right to life and to spoil it. Please don't be afraid to defend yourself and talk about problems in your families. Understand that a truly loving husband will never hit you or hurt you. If you realize that you are uncomfortable or afraid to be with your partner, run. If you are married, file for divorce (by the way, you can get your own divorce papers using the cheap and quick divorce services) and email the finished documents to your partner.
However, keep in mind that the abuser (that is, the person who offends you) will apologize and say that he was wrong and will never do it again, but this is a lie. As soon as they understand that you will not leave, their rage towards you increases. Don't be a victim, take your life into your own hands! Perhaps for a while you will really be alone, but after that you will definitely meet a person who will love and respect you.
