Husband filed Divorce petition.Wife not accepted the copy.She filed RCR and maintenance. Wife was tortured a lot by her in laws so only she came out from matrimonial home and now under the shelter of her father.She is not earning. whether she can file under DV Act? Is she needs to accept the copy of divorce petition? She is willing to live with her husband and so not willing to move criminal case against them.

Yes she could file d case and also she should accept the summons of the divorce case so all the issues are brought to the notice of the court.
It is really good that the wife is still optimistic and does not want top waste the opportunity by bringing criminal cases.

If she want to punish her in laws and also to get compensation for all her sufferings, DV Act is a good option
