She can file 498A , dowry harassment case from gujrat also.

Your wife is eligible to file a case against you u/s 498a, 3 & 4 of DP Act and also DV act once she proves that you are her  husband due to an event called as marriage that took place between you both (that you were trapped  due to the said event into a wrong hand), this eligibility empowers her to file the said case from her own place also, so plan make frequent picnic trips to Gujrat and back from Rajasthan.  Sorry to say this but fact cannot be avoided.
