Answer
The validity of Nikah does not depend upon consummation. Even if consummation does not take place, the marriage will still be valid.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
