i do not think that she can get maintenance as she is also earning almost at par with husband. she can get maintenance for the issue and not for herself. regarding residence, she has all the rights to stay with her husband in a shared household. better ask your daughter to have a control on herself otherwise, she may lost the custody of her daughter due to depression.

Since they do not have any issue out of wedlock, it may be better for your daughter to stay away from her husband in the wake of allegations of cruelty.
