Please note that she cannot withdraw the complaint under 498a clubbed with other sections of IPC because it is not compoundable.
Your son has to file a quash petition before high court to which she has to file an affidavit in person expressing no objection on the basis of mutual consent divorce.
If she is not turning up before court for the second motion of mutual consent divorce then the court will dismiss it after giving her time till 18 months.
Your son can then file a contested divorce case on the grounds of cruelty by adding this incident as a lastest act of continuous cruelty.
He can then file a recovery suit to recover the amount paid to her in advance.
You discuss with your advocate and proceed as suggested

(d) Contested divorce as suggested by learned colleagues.
(e) defamation suit civll & criminal both can be filed
(f) always have a converstion with wife in presene of your lawyer
(g) wife not coming to court shows that she intends to linger on litigation, apply for exparte order along with attachment of property( if she has any)

Now that the divorce by mutual consent has come to a dead end, the only option for your son seek divorce on merits.
As to the criminal procedure examine the possibility of seeking discharge or getting them quashed.
