The answer

If the wife is harmed by her husband or fears his harm, she has the right to request a divorce. If he does not divorce her, her case is to be brought before the court to rule on it. As for the custody of a young child after separation, it belongs to the mother unless there is a valid Sharia impediment. In the event of a dispute over custody, the Sharia court shall rule on the matter.
