Answer
Muhtaram / Muhtaramah
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.
If the husband and wife did not consummate the marriage or they do not talk to each other or they are separated for any period of time, that does not invalidate the nikaah. The nikaah remains intact.
