Dear Client,
If she has filed a case u/s 498(A), then first step you should do is file a bail petition in the concerned District Court. Thereafter, when the matter will come on trial, you will get an opportunity to prove your innocense.

First off all you meatually discuss with your mediator who r involved in your marriage decide all the things out of court first because you can't stop your wife's or his family to go in the court for u/ s 498 A

Ironically, there is not much you can do to prevent someone from filing a criminal case against you, whether it be a police case or complaint case.
Nonetheless, and assuming that you are not ready to keep your wife and that you are a Hindu, you should file a petition for nullity of marriage or a petition seeking divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act in the court of competent jurisdiction.
You should also file an informatory petition in the court of chief Judicial magistrate saying that your wife is threatening you and can file a false criminal case against you. This is not of much consequence, but may serve as a defence for you in case your wife does actually file a case against you.

Hope this clarifies.
Thanks
