In this case it is the state which has to prosecute the accused and not the complainant. However, if she does not come to depose as a witness in the case, all the accused are likely to get acuittal orders.

If you have sufficient information that she is living in US and have sufficient means of income you can escape from the liabilty of paying maintenance. And as my friend said if she didnt turnup to depose in the court, there in no chance of proving the accusation againt you and you can anticipate an acquittal

Yes. Your wife is the complainant in said FIR and if she doesn't come as a witness during the trial of the case, the case will be in your favour.
