Well, why would not "common sense" apply when a wife is living with a physically and emotionally abusive husband? A husband dangerous to her and to her children?

Common sense does apply. The wife can leave her husband. Even file for a civil divorce for legal protection. However if it is a sacramental marriage, she is not able to remarry until the husband dies.

Divorce or separation isn't really the issue -- it's remarriage which is.
