If they file a joint return you can't claim either person as a dependent.
If the husband were to file as "married filing separately," you might qualify to claim your daughter as a dependent. This would be worth a $500 tax credit only**, and that might be less than the extra tax the husband would pay on his income. You would have to prepare some test returns with different situations.
