Legal Question in Family Law in India

Dear Sir/ Ma'm, I need your advice on one case that happened in India. My question is as below:

After harassing my Muslim female friend for 14 years her Muslim husband left her alone. In 2000 they were married through Nikahnama according to Muslim tradition. She has their Nikahnama (marriage certificate) also. 3 years before he threw her out of his home with two children as she was not able to bring money from her father anymore. Now it�s learnt and confirmed that her husband married another Muslim girl and has even a baby also. He did not inform her first wife about it at all. She is alone taking care of two children ages 12 and 7.

1. Now question is can a Muslim husband marry second wife without giving divorce to his first wife or without even informing her?

2. Can she charge him with bigamy and send him to jail?

3. Can she get divorce from her husband on the ground of his second marriage?

Thank you .
