The limitation period for a lawsuit against a person whose legal personal rights and interests are violated due to domestic violence is three years, calculated from the date when the victim knows or should know that his or her rights have been damaged.

At this time, he could only file a personal injury compensation lawsuit, and the limitation of action was also three years. If the injury had not been discovered at the time, and it could be confirmed after examination that it was caused by an assault, it would be counted from the date the injury was confirmed.

There was indeed a concept of " prescription " in China's criminal law. The limitation period refers to the time after the perpetrator committed the crime, regardless of whether he had escaped or whether he had obtained evidence, as long as he did not report to the judicial authorities, the criminal would be deemed to have passed the limitation period and have the right to be exempted from punishment or reduced punishment.

If the crime was not reported or evaded investigation within one year, it would be counted from the second month for three years to seven years, from the seventh year for ten years or more, from ten years. If the perpetrator actively surrendered and truthfully confessed his crime within the time limit, he could be given a lighter or reduced punishment; if the perpetrator fled within the time limit, deliberately destroyed evidence or obstructed the investigation, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment or death and his criminal income would be recovered according to law. It should be noted that if the perpetrator did not report to the judicial authorities within the time limit, or if the perpetrator evaded investigation, or if the perpetrator recovered after treatment and committed another crime, the time limit would not be imposed.

The specific time limit for prosecution was determined according to different circumstances. According to the Criminal Law, the time limit for prosecution was divided into five years, ten years, fifteen years, and twenty years.
