Question Detail:

Is there a time limit of when you have to consumate/have sex from the time of your nikah? Please provide relegious evidence on this matter.

Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
There is no time limit to consummate the marriage after the Nikah.
If the spouses are together, then there should be no reason not to consummate the marriage.
It is however understandable if they are apart for example in different countries and cannot consummate the marriage.
And Allah knows best
