See Shulchan Aruch, Evan HaEzer, Chapter 154.
I’m not convinced that under present-day society, the Mechaber’s list is exhaustive. For example, the Mechaber says nothing about the wife being beaten repeatedly.*
Or is it your contention that a woman has no right to receive a get if her husband is truly beating her daily?

* It may be that such things didn’t happen in the Mechaber’s day or it may be that it was socially acceptable (and therefore not worth remarking about).
