Absolutely but I'm looking for the least shitty solution.
If you're dealing wit some amber heard type of hoe better to mace her than get your finger cut off or knock her out.
It's a no-win situation but IMO you have a better chance in court if she has no marks or bruises.
I had a friend who was married to a violent abusive woman. I witnessed it twice, really brutal. He never fought back which only made her more angry and abusive.
Of course everyone advised him to divorce, which he did eventually when it got too much.
Leaving is the only real solution.

My heart goes out to your friend.
I'm not a tough guy but I don't understand how guys can put up with that shit on a regular basis.
Maybe it's because i don't have kids but for me as soon as you get physical that crosses the line.
