1. See they will get Anticipatory bail and since you have not stayed with them a single day or the girl was not in contact with them parents can file quashing petition in high court.

2. See for applying for divorce before one year of marriage first you need to obtain permission of the court.

3. For that they can be cross-examined in the time of evidence stage further she needs to give proof concerete evidence of same.

4. The court can order restitution or can reject based on how you contest it.

5. See in case of conviction only it can effect.your job not the case

The girl was married and it was a love marriage but it didn't last. Therefore she can't put allegations on you of dowry as your parents were not involved and you married in a temple. If you dint want to live with her then file a divorce petition against her on grounds of cruelty and incompatibility and adultery. You should clearly state before the family court why you dont want to live with her...adultery etc. No your parents cannot be involved and they would not suffer as they had nothing to do with your marriage.

In case you are going for a govt job try to clear this as early as possible.

1)FIR can be quashed by High Court in accordance with section 482 CrPC. You have to file an application to quash the FIR. 

2)If Your marriage is not completed with in 1 year so now you can't file a petition for divorces o you have to wait till completion of 1 year. After completion of one year you can file divorce under any grounds of divorce 

3)The statements of the witnesses u/s 161 crpc must be examined and cross examined. 

4)If the court has not yet passed the decree of restitution of conjugal rights, then you should defend the petition of RCR filed by your wife. According to section 23-A of HMA,1955, if you succeed in opposing the petition of RCR on the ground of cruelty or desertion by your wife, you may get the decree of divorce on those grounds in the same proceedings. 

5) dowry harassment case unless you are convicted there is no damage that will be caused to yourgovernment job so you need not worry.

1. Firstly since you have mentioned that you both married without consent of parents' and took a room on rent and stayed there alone, your parents' have no role in this entire proceedings therefore you first try to discharge or quash the proceedings against your relatives. 

2. If you wait till you are acquitted, you have another ground for Divorce.  IT is advisable to wait and work on making her case weak. 

3. Your complaint may help you in this regard.  Else good cross of her witness should do the trick. 

4. That solely depends on how you put across your case.  If you are able to establish that she was doing adulterous chatting with several guys post marriage, RCR may not turn out in her favour.  

5. Unless you are held guilty, it should not affect per se.

1. If you do not wish to live with her then you may file a petition for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty. In addition to this, you may also seek annulment of marriage on the ground that your consent to marriage was obtained by suppression of factum of her relationship with other guys.

2. If your parents have obtained anticipatory bail then their job should be safe.

3. Has the statement of her friends been recorded by police? If yes, have they been listed as witness in the chargesheet? If the answer to both these questions is in affirmative then you will get the opportunity to cross examine them to impeach their credit.

4. Your candidature can be initially rejected by the competent authority due to pendency of the case, but you may file a writ petition in the High Court to quash any such order.
