She is entitled to maintenance including residence as per your 'standard of living/financial status' at the time of separation.

She is also entitled to pursue criminal case u/s 498-A and/or DVA for the violence/cruelty, if any, committed by you and/or your family.

You may better settle the matter amicably to avoid trial and litigation.
