Fiqh of Marriage

Does a second wife have any mandated duties towards the first wife of her husband? Some friends of my husband are saying that as a second wife I have a duty to call the first one to say hello and pay respects because i “found” her in the marriage, and that i am mandated to know and have a relationship with her. Is this true by the deen?

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?
