It is valid marriage. Since your wife is pregnant,instead of taking any legal action against her,try to persuade her, send her money for her maintenance by MO or by cheque.Do not make any haste.

Taking the future of the baby (to be born), think twice before taking any decision. Yes you have remedies of filing a petition for restitution conjugal rights or divorce(after one year of marriage). but my suggetion is try, to convince your wife, try to understand each other. don't drag silly issues. reach an amicable settlement.

Marriage is valid unless you establish beyond doubt that the rituals and custom prevailing in your society is not observed during the marriage.

Law cannot bring in love and harmony between husband and wife which is an affair to be developed mutually between themselves within the four walls of their house.

You have every right to file a petition for conjugal rights but as afraid by you, it has to be sustained. Mutual co-operation of husband and wife, minus ego, would only ensure happy family. Try to win over your wife if required with the help of mediation process.
