I am presuming that your marriage has taken place as per Muslim rites and rituals.
Firstly, consummation (sexual intercourse) of marriage is a marital obligation in any marriage. However, in Muslim marriage if marriage has not been consummated it has legal implications.

Secondly, concept of dowry is not recognised under Muslim marriage. So basically her family is harassing you under the garb of dowry.

You can file a complaint before the local Police station stating all the facts. Approach the appropriate court for 'anticipatory bail' at the earliest. She and her family may initiate proceedings against you and your family. So I would advice in given facts approach for anticipatory bail at the earliest and file complaint in the local police station next. You may as well opt to give talaq as per Islamic law applicable to you.

Hope this helps.
