Then you're allowed to make any other legal move!

 Good to know.   I had an opponent do this to me.   He pushed his pawn up, trying to take one of my pawns.   I touched my pawn, then realised  if I cut him with my pawn, it would put me in check.  But then he said "you have to take it with the bishop".  I thought I couldn't play any other move, I had to take his pawn with my bishop, since I was intending to cut his pawn.  Then he took my bishop with another piece.   I resigned because I was a whole piece down. 

meh, I was already losing that game though.
