(a) The matter is serious. The legal implications are : criminal prosecution which may lead to a possible jail term.

(b) Avoidance of summons may not provide you required protection.

(c) You should try for an amicable out of court settlement and reach a compromise with your wife.

Alternatively, you may consider returning her dowry /istridhan through the local police; and provide her adequate maintenance.
