Does not having sex for a certain period amount to an automatic divorce?

I heard that if a husband and wife (of Islamic faith) do not engage in sexual intercourse for a certain length of time during their marriage ( due to quarrelling) then their marriage is automatically void ( automatically ends in divorce by Islamic rule). I have been told several lengths of time….3months…4 months….6 months..2 years. Is this true?
