a tax question for stp

I am student with F1 visa and my wife is living with me with F2 visa.She has no income.My question is that should I file the tax refund claiming her as my dependent?Or I just file alone without claiming her as a dependent and she does not need to file alone at all.Basically my question is that if a person has no income,should he or she still file if he or she is not claimed as a dependent.Thanks in advance
