Your friend can claim maintenance /permanent alimony from her husband and the fact that she is more educated than her husband will not be a deterrent. She can get a job in future does not mean that she will definitely be able to get a job or that she is earning her livelihood as on date. Apart from the maintenance she also has a right to claim stridhan.

Sir/Ma'am, the relevant provisions for maintenance of wife by husband are section 125 of Cr.P.C., Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act and Hindu Marriage Act. The proposition is that if the wife has no source of income and the husband is gainfully employed or not, the wife is entitled to claim maintenance from the husband and the liability of the husband is not vanished by the mare fact that the husband is even a student and is continuing his studies. The husband in the matter in hand is just harassing and nothing more.
