If you will file she will have to appear before the court. If she doesn’t appear then you shall be given ex—parte divorce. File as soon as possible before she leaves and serve copy to her. Provide more details for better advise.

Sir,
We appreciate your concerns and question.
if your wife has refused to live with you then this qualifies as desertion. A divorce can be obtained on the grounds of desertion. You can't physically stop or compel anyone from leaving the the country however you can obtain a divorce decree exparte stating that the spouse is not willing and doesn't wish to cohabit.
Stopping someone from leaving the country and making them stay with spouse is a matter of adjustment and mediation it cannot be forced. If mediation fails then divorce can be obtained on grounds of desertion.

hi

in this case you can file contesting divorce petition before the family court
as soon as she receives summons she has to stay within the Indian territory
even before she leaves India then summons can be served to Indian embassy in that country and she may be deported
