I would think fleeing a life of slavery is a good argument for asylum.

can you claim asylum for abuse suffered in the country you fled TO? Doesn't the abuse need to be in the country you are from (the one they will deport you to)?

Actually in the US there is a process for granting residency to abused spouses and children:.

I have heard that it's fairly lenient and the cousin described by OP might fit into that category for immigration status. IANAIL.
