The case will continue as its the state that is prosecuting you not the victim. As per criminal law complainant is only the informant of crime and its the state that takes action against the accused for disturbing the peace and breaking the law of the country.

is the statement of the victim has been recorded as a prosecution witness and she has been cross examined, the case can continue. Otherwise, it is difficult to continue the case unless there is unimpeachable evidence to prove the guilt without the testimony of the victim. it depends on the facts of the case.
