Don't worry the case is not acceptable on this stage
If lower court accept it then go to high court bcoz a case like your case already have filled before SC
Wife can't file DV after divorce it's not a power ful weapon now
A Supreme Court bench of Justices P Sathasivam and B S Chauhan quashed the case against Inderjit Singh Grewal and told the woman, Amandeep Kaur, that a case under DV Act could not be maintained as long as the decree of divorce remained in force.
