My husband and his family made my life unbearable. On February 22nd, 2014, he physically assaulted me and even tried to attack me with a knife. I managed to escape and have been living with my parents since then. In April 2016, I finally filed a domestic violence case against him and his family. I had hoped to avoid legal action and simply get a quiet divorce, but he refused to let go easily. However, I recently heard that I can’t file a domestic violence case after two years of separation. Is this true?

Under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, there is no strict time limit for filing a domestic violence case. However, a court may consider the delay in filing and its impact on the case while deciding on the merits of your application.
