1. Unless there is a positive agreement between the spouses there can be no mutual consent dissolution of marriage, which leaves her with only one remedy i.e to file for contested divorce. You may on your part file for restitution of conjugal rights (RCR) to seek a decree against her for resumption of her conjugal duties.

2. Contest the domestic violence case fittingly in the court. The onus to prove the commission of domestic violence is on her, which she has to discharge by leading cogent evidence in the court.

If you are not interested in giving divorce to her, refuse the same.

You do not have to give one time settlement of such a huge amount, there is nothing that you can spare for her because it is she who is opting for divorce and not you moreover she is earning a income of Rs. 20,000- hence you may repudiate her claim.

You can challenge her domestic violence properly in the trial court.

2. Contest the DV case filed by her in the Court fittingly.

3. Since she is employed, she is not entitled to any maintenance from you.
