Geetika,
Advise her to file a complaint under DV Act. She can also file a complaint u/s 498 A of IPC regarding dowary harrashment.
court has to look in to all the cases not only one case.
She has to wait if she wants any justice.

The opinion of Rajeev is perfect. There is no limitation to file FIR in such cases.
