They can file suit for damages and may be a case of cheating depending upon other facts. If you have not taken any dowry, you need not bother even if they file a false case. Because you will also have witnesses to say that you have not taken dowry. If you apprehend any criminal action, you have to apply for anticipatory bail.

What my learned friends stated are absolutely correct. You have not explained the reason for cancellation of marriage. If you have a genuine reason then through family friends and well wishers mediation you can smoothly handle the problem. Try to find amicable way out or else you will be forced to under go mental torture. Hope that your problem is settled amicably. God bless.
