Suddenly she come to know about my marriage and she complaint about myself
Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), if no fraud, misrepresentation, or exploitation occurred, charges like cheating under Section 316 or outraging modesty under Section 78 may not be applicable. However, she may claim online deception under the IT Act, 2000 under Section 66D. Since no financial or sexual fraud occurred, defend by proving no wrongful intent. Cooperate with the cyber cell, provide chat records, and seek legal counsel to contest false allegations.

Based on your query, the key aspects to consider are that there was no financial fraud, sexual exploitation, or physical meeting involved. Your chats were limited to discussions about marriage, and the interaction ended 7-8 months ago.
Since a cyber complaint has been filed, the first step is to ascertain the nature of the allegations. If the complaint alleges misrepresentation or cheating under IT Act or IPC (such as Section 66D of IT Act or IPC 417/420 for cheating), you should immediately seek legal assistance. However, mere misrepresentation without fraud or inducement does not constitute a serious offense.
You should respond to any notice from the cyber cell, stating that there was no fraudulent intent, and the conversation was purely online without any financial or sexual wrongdoing. If the matter escalates, a pre-arrest remedy, such as anticipatory bail, may be considered to prevent any undue harassment.
Additionally, if the complaint appears to be frivolous or malicious, you may explore legal remedies such as filing a counter-complaint for harassment or defamation if necessary. It is advisable to remain cooperative with the authorities while protecting your legal rights.

You can immediately go for an anticipatory bail against thr complaint made against you so that the police wont arrest you and later on you can conduct the and grt out of the case or you can settle the matter by talking terms with the girls but most imp is to get anticipatory bail
