How such a female can be made a respondent more particularly what allegations can be levelled against her and what relief can be claimed against her?

No. Even if such lady has been impleaded, an application on her behalf should be moved instantly even without her presence by her authorized person seeking deletion of her name from the array of respondents as it is entirely an abuse of process of law.
