A: If she won't leave, there is likely nothing you can do unless he commits a crime in which case you can call law enforcement. However, no matter how well intentioned you are, you never know how your meddling in other peoples affairs will turn out - could be helpful, could be disastrous or anything in between. Chose your course of action carefully.
