If a divorce occurs, you are entitled to the rights of a divorced woman with whom consummation has occurred, including the full mahr (dowry). The husband's sexual incapacity does not prevent the validity of consummation and its consideration. What you or your family spent on the husband by way of financial support cannot be claimed back from him, unless it was given as a loan.
