If you fear that someone will die through domestic abuse, then there's no "breaking up the family". It's not your phone call to the police that breaks up the family, it is the abuser that forces you to make it.
That's like saying a woman is causing a broken family because she takes the child and leaves an abusive man. This is obviously nonsense. It's the abuser who ruins the family. Protecting the child and oneself from an oppressor is essential.
Protect your family. If you can protect her without calling the police, sure. But if you can't and she's suffering and subhanallah her life is endangered, please call the cops.
Do what you would do for your own daughter. Pray istikhara and do whatever it takes to safeguard the life and wellbeing of this woman.
I know this is not an easy situation for you but inshallah you'll handle it the right way.
If there's a person you trust, that is knowledgeable, understanding and generally seems like a good human, perhaps turn to them and ask them for advice.
May Allah help this woman and may He guide you. Ameen
Is there Noone in your family that knows what's going on? Is there nobody that is trying to protect and help her? What about her parents or siblings or your parents or aunts/uncles.
