You should have settled the matter earlier.

Well there must be some facts in your favour like no communication between the two families after the exchange of information regarding cancellation relationship. And now when they are calling you for settlement, already a lot of time has elapsed...so the things may not go right in their favour.

They cannot make any unjustified demand from you. Hopefully there is no wrong evidence available against you. I also hope that you had not posted her photo on FB...if you have then consequences would be serious.

Better talk to them politely and involve some prudent person, so that the things are resolved amicably without any damage to the reputation.
