Your daughter should contact the police and a center for abused women. They will provide assistance for her. Rather than leave the home she should obtain a domestic violence restraining order, which should include a kick out order. Whether or not she can have the marriage annulled is unknown on the facts you provided. Consulting with an attorney to assist with the domestic violence restraining order and starting the divorce process. The marriage is less than six months. Therefore it is unlikely that he has any significant interest in the home or any other asset.
