Limitation will not apply once a complaint was made in time but investigation is not completed.

Long delay in investigation can be a ground to apply for discharge.

First of all after a gap of more than 10 years police cannot pointout. Further join the investigation and raise ur objection that it is false allegation, second delay third u r already divorced.

even if you are divorced, it does not ipso facto bars the complainant to proceed u/s 498a. better reproduce the contents of f.i.r. for better guidance.
