Hi
496 of IPC punishes both woman and a man.
The onus of proof is on the person who claims that there was fraudulent intention
The essence of the offence is that the marriage ceremony should be fraudulently gone through and that there should be no lawful marriage the parties to the marriage or at least one of the parties must have the knowledge that there is no lawful marriage.
In other words, to constitute the offence under this section the prosecution must prove that the accused know that there was no valid marriage and he had gone through a show of marriage with a fraudulent or ulterior motives.

Here you can approach the Hon'ble court to get a remedy as you said the police did not take action. If you have proper proof to show that the lady is of such nature and she left to Kerala, non consummation of marriage on these grounds you can apply or divorce.
