unconsummated

Left without culmination

Unconsummated describes something that was never completed or fulfilled.

Most often applied to marriages that were never sealed by sexual intercourse: The marriage was annulled because it remained unconsummated.

The term extends to anything begun but never brought to fruition: an unconsummated deal, unconsummated ambitions.
