If you have been with your wife while she is still in her revocable waiting period ( rajiyah), there is no harm in you taking her back. If you fear informing her family of the truth, you can tell them that a private meeting with the wife has the same ruling as consummation, which entails the full dowry becoming obligatory, and the divorce that occurs thereafter is a revocable divorce. There is no lie in this, and you can achieve your objective with it.
