The summons can be served on you through Indian embassy in Saudi Arabia and if you do not appear, exparte order for maintenance will be passed against you. And to recover the maintenance amount, distress warrant and subsequently attachment of your movable and thereafter immovable property may be done on court order till the recovery of maintenance amount.

Even if u do not come she can proceed exparte against u and she will get maintenance and once she got the maintenance u can't do anything. Even if u refuse to take summon, it is considered as service upon u. Appoint a lawyer immediately and fight against her.
