Legal Question in Family Law in Pakistan

Assalam O Alekum,
I have one quiet complex issue to discuss with you people. A European girl who got contract marriage in Ireland with a man who is Hindu and he is from Bangladesh. That marriage with Hindu Bangladeshi was solemnized as a registered marriage in the registrar office in Ireland. She was Christian at the time of marriage. They don't have children.
Before, She was Christian and now she got inspired with Islam and she has turned into Islam, but she has hidden this thing from her husband as he is anti-Islam and Anti-Pakistan.
She wanted to apply for the divorce in Ireland, but rules and the procedure for divorce application is so complex, difficult and much time taking. A rule says she will have to wait 4 years after submitting divorce application, which is why she wants to come to Pakistan for applying divorce.
Now, she has become Muslim so she wants to come to Pakistan to get marry with me. I want to know that on the basis of being Muslim:
1. She is Muslim now, Can I get Islamic Nikah with her in Pakistan, as she is already got registered marriage in Ireland.
2.Would our Nikah be counted in polygamous marriage with her in Pakistan or out of Pakistan??
3.Can she apply for the divorce in Pakistan, even after marrying me ??
4. Is there any law in Pakistan for the application of international divorce and if that Bangladeshi man do defense against her divorce application? So what is the other alternative and condition for her ??
5. How long it will take for one sided divorce application in Pakistan?
Please help me and find me some ways to take out her from the problem.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
