two options: 1st to get bail giving this proof of Marriage and then 482 application for quashing. Here u have to see the whether any complaint case was lodged, any DV case and maintenance case is pending. If not then it is a fit case for 482 application. For that u have approach High Court only.

Make a prayer to the magistrate to get your case investigated by Family Welfare Committee as per new Supreme Court Guidelines. Also you can pray to quash the complaint case if no FIR is filed by your wife on the ground that complainant is itself absent from the false proceeding which she had initiated and claim compensation and damages.
