Legal Question in Family Law in India

hi, this is sumaiyya shaikh My family was searching a girl for my brother he is seeking BBA last year. A family was introduced by my uncle and a girl was seen. we all liked they to liked our family. All this happened in April 2011, few days later they started forcing for having an engagement and not to have any issues any further my family got ready, but as my brother was going for 40 day religious purpose on May 8, 2011, these people forced to do on May 7, 2011 itself. we thought okay. on May 7, 2011, we gave a girl a gold ring, silver anklet, couple of dresses, and we already cleared them we dnt want anything from their side in form of gold according to religion a boy cannot wear gold. the engagement took place in a small nearby school near their house in evening and 20 to 30 people went from our side. The girl had done her 12th so further studies of DED we gave them 27,000 as fees. All things were going smooth. The marriage date was fixed December 24, 2012. Till this time my brother had never meet this girl nor spoken or had any mobile contact. On December 12, 2012 because of college studies and projects without taking any suggestion he called one of her brother in law and showed interest in meeting her dad. the front person told he is not in town so my brother kept quite. Again that person called my brother and asked him to come and meet him personally, my brother went told them his problem and reqested them for helping him. but these people got angry on him. next day on 13 dec, 2012 my full family was called and was questioned and they demanded a written note by boy he is sorry and he is ready for marriage and this all was said will be done at home. on 14 in morning we got a call from their side come to our place as we have to go to a lawyer and do all legally. AS in near future in anything goes wrong if the girl is doing anything wrong we would not have any right to tell as we were singing letter so my brother was little scared and same mood he went to college. later on in college the girl first time she came personally to meet my brother and asked what was wrong after speaking to her my brother came home and without doubt he was ready from first to get married on same day but because of legal action he was getting scared. later on my dad, my uncle and my mama went at their place, but till that time these people were fixed to cancel marriage.on 15 December 2012 we got a call from police from their area asking to come and meet. according to their information those people told police the boy is not ready for marriage. The police spoke with my brother and made conclusion no case can be filed against him because he was ready for marriage. Our elder Jiju went to them and requested them not to make things more complicated and do the marriage. till 24 december 2012 my family members were pleading them and reqesteing them not to cancel marriage. Their area police told us to go to hall when marriage was going to take place and then come we did all. the police assured us nothing there is no fault of your family and those people cannot harass you as the date has gone.

On March 10, 2013 we got a call from same police station to come and meet personally because they sent application to police commissnor of pune. our statement was taken, but in application they wrote they gave us 5 mg gold ring, clothes and 500 people went for engagement which is totally wrong we do have pictures of engagement also. Now these people are harassing us for money and demanding us to pay money and sending people at our home.

please do help us and tell us what can be done in this case.
