What are the rights of a wife whose husband has only consummated the marriage three times, then left her suspended for two months in her family's home without maintenance, and refuses to divorce her or give her dower?

What you are experiencing is a trial that necessitates patience and supplication. The husband has wronged you in several ways: he did not reciprocate good treatment, he slandered you and disgraced you, he expelled you and ceased spending on you, which is a right of the wife, and the dowry is also her right. It is advised to seek the intervention of wise individuals for reconciliation or to resort to the judge.
