Rinku,
I think walking down the aisle while his trial is pending isn't a wise decision as this would definitely fail his case. As far as you and your family members are concerned, I don’t think you should worry about getting implicated.
He needs your support, please do not back out. If you truly love him, try to work around this issue. You can postpone your marriage until he is acquitted. God forbid! If he gets convicted, appeal in the higher courts but do not give up. You don’t leave your loved ones when they are in trouble, do you? Sit down with your parents and tell them what you intend to do with your life. Stop bothering about what society thinks about your affair with a man whose wife committed suicide. I am sure you are a strong woman, keep faith in God and yourself. Shall give it some more thought tonight, will revert later.
Further, I am completely dismayed by an expert's view on women committing suicide. Please be enlightened with the below statistics and Supreme Court's view on such suicides (posted by the expert herself). https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/Abetting-bahu-s-suicide-Accused-should-have-active-role-SC-33005.asp. A 306 can never be filled by the deceassed herself unless ofcourse this happens...
