A.Dear Client,
According to Section 468 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the time limit for filing a complaint for dowry harassment under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) is 3 years. To ensure success in a dowry case, it is recommended to file the complaint within 7 years of marriage, as cases filed beyond this timeframe may result in losing the case. Despite some individuals filing dowry cases even after 7, 10, or 15 years of marriage, the likelihood of success diminishes after 7 years. Seeking legal advice from an experienced advocate is advisable before making any final decisions on such matters.

A.Dear Client,
As per Section 468 of CrPC, the time limit for a complaint for an offense of dowry harassment under Section 498A of IPC is 3 years. 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. So it is advisable to take legal opinion from an experienced Advocate before making a final decision on the matter.
