No these may not amount to cheating as the person from whom these were kept hidden did not specifically asked about any injury marks on the body, nor he tried to get the disabilities such as these if one consider it disability checked by some medical expert. Such injury marks can be a thing of dislike in the sexual life of the other spouse has to be seen from wider prospective & if these doesn’t interfere in the normal sexual activities otherwise between the couple & are in no way reason for sexual impotency then this plea will not hold good for dissolution of marriage either by way of annulment or divorce. The very fact if the spouse anytime after the marriage got these injury marks, this itself would not have given a right for the other spouse to seek divorce on this ground, as it doesn’t match any of the available grounds for divorce. The most important issue here is with regards to getting rid of such marks by cosmetic surgery & the chances for such surgery being successful is quite high with the latest medical & surgical methods. Considering all these facts no court will dissolve such a marriage on this ground.

I think hiding medical history or any other material information is cheating. I'm not sure about annulment of marriage according to Indian constitution as marriage laws are very strange & flexible.
