If thee is lot of differences of opinion between the pride and pride groom before the marriage then it would be better if the marriage is called off. The marriage life will not be fruitful if the same has happened witbout the consent of the pairs. Just give them a written letter to them narrating all those facts. But they may give false complaint of dowry harassment against you. So inform your unwillingness to her family to conduct the marriage by citing the said facts through the said notice. If they take any such a false allegations and complaint in future it may help you at that point of time.

Did you conduct an Engagement ceremony on 3.2.2017? Or is it just a written for? Did you take any money etc on that date? If no money or jewels were taken from the girl's side then there is no problem to cancel the marriage. You can send a letter to the girl's parents stating that the girl herself has said that she does not want to marry your son. You can keep the Whatsapp message as proof. We need to discuss in detail to advice you the legal implications and procedure . Kindly meet me and discuss.
