HI
A dowry case ideally should be filed within 7 years of marriage for a dowry claim to be won in the court.
Though people file dowry cases even after 7/10/15 years of marriage, they will lose the case if the dowry case is beyond 7 years of marriage.
If both of the parties need divorce, then both the parties should apply for mutual consent divorce under respective personal (religion laws).
For a mutual consent divorce, both parties should have been living separately for last 1 year.
Courts will grant mutual consent divorce after 6 months from the date of filing of petition.
