Fiqh of Marriage

I need to know if a woman can be married to a man without having any physical relationship or any contact at all. I’ve been married to an impotent man who is also gay and not willing to change or get any sort of help. After 2 years of misery I want to get a divorce. Am I still entitled to my mahar? Is this nikkah even valid?

The nikah is valid and you deserve the mahar and you can demand separation from the Judge based on his medical condition and his impotency which can be easily diagnosed by a medical report.

When we were about to get married, my husband told me at the eve of our wedding that he exhausted his money and does not have the mahr. So I told them that he had already given me, so during the wedding the amount was just mentioned but he did not give me till date. I read somewhere that without mahr the marriage is invalid. What is the ruling now?
