If she is dependant on you she can ask for maintenance,accomodation etc.
Re: Ex-wife filed 498A and DV case
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.
