The answer

The marriage is valid as long as it has met the Shariah conditions. The fact that the mahr (dowry) came from ill-gotten gains does not harm the validity of the marriage. The husband must repent and return the ill-gotten money to its rightful owners, or give it away as charity on their behalf if he is unable to return it.
