My wedding was in Egypt, I have lived there also. I have been married for several years and am very happy. I am a Muslim woman free to do as I wish, my husband has always been very kind and considerate of me. My point being, there are good and bad people everywhere, to assume an entire people are "abusive" is generalizing is isn't accurate.
I sympathise with you and would be happy to give advice. If she wants to leave she can. There is an international airport in Cairo if she holds an American passport no one will ask questions. If he took her passport she can go to the American Embassy. The American Embassy is in Tahir Square (downtown Cairo, close to the Cairo Museum and Nile Hilton). Your daughter has many options. Egypt is a secular country and most people in the cities are educated and speak fluent English and French.
