1,When you knew that you had this disease you committed mistake by marrying this person.

2.Now When you have committed this mistake you can not escape the liability.

3.If They file criminal cases you may be n big trouble.

4.Hence seek their forgiveness and dissolve the marriage on the ground of nullity ( non consummation of marriage) as for mutual consent though for which you need to wait till . December,2017

The police may not entertain any cheating case agaisnt you, she has relief only through court for having suppressed the fact material to marriage, hence he can file a petition to annul the marriage.

If she files on, you may cooperate with her and help her get the relief of annulling the marriage which will be food for both you and her.

Moreover since you did not have any physical relationship with her, you may disclose this fact to ther at least now and distance yourself from her so that let at least her life is not spoiled or ruined.

You do not have to give money more than your capacity.

If they demand more than your ability, you may refuse the same and inform them to go ahead with any type of legal action.

You can obtain AB in the dowry harassment complaint and challenge the same in the trial court properly.

They cannot file a cheating case for suppressing the fact of your disease while marrying her, it is a civil nature, she has remedy in divorce or annulment. She can approach court for that.
