It would depend upon which state you are in. 498a is generally filed alongwith 406 and do you have bills supporting your claims of Stridhan with her.
In Delhi for example, the court may at the time of bail ask him to deposit some amount in court in lieu of Stridhan, whereas that may not be a proposition in UP. In Punjab and Haryana, arrest of the husband would be affected to recover that Stridhan.
All in all, AB/ Bail would be granted to him and the chances of recovery from this mode of filing cases is minimal, if you don't have supporting bills.
w.r.t. Divorce, either party can file a divorce and the same is decided by the courts on merits, if your husband can show sufficient proofs of cruelty, then he would be granted divorce, otherwise no.
