Harassed by in laws living separately for 2 years can I file DV case


15-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband & his family used to torture me a lot but on 22nd Feb2014 my husband beaten me & tried to attack me with the knife but I managed to protect myself since then I left his house and staying with my parents. In APR 2016 I filed the domestic violence case against my husband and his family. The reason I did not file earlier was I did not want to indulge into the legal matters and quietly wanted to get divorced but my husband stil kpt on playing games & don't want to divorce me easily. Hence I took legal help.i came to know DV can not be filed after 2 yrs of separate living, Is it true?
