My wife holds a professional degree and has a membership of the institute, similar to a CA institute. She has filed a 498A FIR against me and my elderly parents 600 kms away and now matter went to the court, who lives 600 km away, solely to demand a large amount of money. She has also already extorted jewelry from me, which I recorded on video at the time and made police complaint already but they did not register FIR.
If I lodge a complaint (disclosing her name and membership number) with evidence with the relevant institute via email and simultaneously create a social media video without disclosing her name and image, highlighting how my wife, along with her parents and aunt, is misusing the law to blackmail me and my elderly father, would this step be appropriate?

This will be considered as an act of defamation and punishable under criminal law besides liability to pay huge compensation as per civil law if she files a civil suit also
Instead you may better challenge her false case as per law and get acquitted

Actually the institute has Code of Conduct and Ethics which she is not following

You have the only option to contest the case, seeking professional services of a local prudent lawyer in the Court where case is pending

The code of conduct of the institute is as per their own regulations and it is their problem and not not yours.
You may concentrate on your own issues
