If what is represented is true, then she, the foreigner, needs counseling. Perhaps, both of them do. If your family member can prove that he was physically injured, then this is the difference between her staying and getting deported where she is convicted for a domestic violence conviction. However, deportation may cause more family complications.

Yet, if your family member got his wife pregnant before marriage, then there is a significant relationship that resulted in marriage. If there is a child from the relationship, then the concern is whether you want the mother to depart with your family member's child, which may be a real possibility.

Again, if they are still together or have a child together, then efforts should be made to consider whether deporting what may be the custodial parent is a good idea.
