Well...most of the times such provisions have been misused.
After Arnesh Kumar's judgment by the Hon'ble SC, the arrest of the accused in such cases is not an easy task. But the law can still be circumvented in order to harass the individuals.
In your case, your marriage was without the consent of your parents. And I believe, in your case, they will be largely protected by law.
Seek help of a local lawyer.

disownment drama does not help someone to be free from criminal liability in true /false charges. Had it been so easy then not even a single case could have been there where parents of husband were booked.
marriage without consent of parents can be interpreted nicely against them for proving dowry demand on their part.

1. Getting AB is no more difficult task noways , more so, for the in laws of the complainant.
2. So do not fret about the 498A anymore and fight for the truth without succumbing to any blackmailing tactics.

It is advisable to appoint a good lawyer immediately.. because it seems you might be needing one.
