>Are there exactly equal amount of electrons as protons in the universe?

No one knows. My guess would be no. I don't think it really fucking matters though. It really isn't an important question.

>How could electron exists without protons?

Why do you assume they are "opposites" and have to exist together? Why?

A proton is a heavy massive particle, composed of other more fundamental particles. An electron is a very light particle with no internal structure. They aren't "opposites", just because they have opposite charge. Muons and taus also have -1 charge as well! So do a lot of other particles!

If you want to ask "does the universe have a net 0 charge?" That is a somewhat meaningful question. But, just picking two random particles in the universe and assuming they must exist in equal parts because they have the opposite charge thing, seems kinda silly.

Unless you have some other motivation for this "opposite" thing you seem to imply?
