No domestic violence case can be filed only within one year which is the limitation under the act.Since the act came into force subsequently I.e in the year 2005, the limitation has to be counted beginning with 2005 and ending in the year 2006

how come the divorce is pending in High Court as the District Judge of the district suppose to adjudicate the matter. Yet if the wife is living seperately then it is difficult for her to prove the allegation of domestic violence. rest is depend upon the fact and circumstances of the case.
