1 Peter 3:4, " Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

Submits to her own husband? And if he abuses her physically or demands that she act contrary to God's direction, then what?

She is free to leave and marry someone else.

I would not consider such man as a believer. For such cases, do as per 1 Corinthians 7:15 (this talks about dealing the inharmonious circumstances between a believer and unbeliever)

The believing brother or sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. 1 Corinthians 7:15

Get help from the church, who can make that man realize the crisis of soul he is in the midst of.
It will be his choice to further alienate himself from God by leaving the wife.
God doesn't allow holy women to be tormented by bullies.

He doesn't? I have seen sincere Christian women tormented by their husbands, yet stayed with them so that they could save them.

Even thought that's not biblical, I agree that is the right thing to do.

Many marriage laws under the OC, or within the church as explained by Paul in his day, don't apply today. Beating your wife is assault and is a criminal act. No church would defend it even for spiritual purposes.

That was a woman without a church to put pressure on the husband.
Your opinion of her "walk" has no bearing on my thoughts.

That simply is not the case. This woman and her husband went to church regularly, yet he still abused her at home.

I'm not interested in the bearing on your thoughts. Do you approve of wife beating?

No, I don't.
And it is apparent the husband isn't a Christian no matter what "church" he goes to.
Why didn't the wife tell the pastor?
Why didn't the ministry set that man aright?
Why didn't the wife call the police?

There is a serious breakdown of responsibility in that whole group.
Thought the husband was the aggressor, the wife enabled the whole mess.
