Hello certainly she can not take plea of Dowry after 7 successful years of marriage. Your friend can take divorce on other grounds and it is hard to say this time that there will be complication or not. It will depend on the facts of the case

Hi, As per law he cant avoid his marriage obligations,whether the child born with his consent or not that is a separate issue but still the baby is born out of that wedlock it will be presumed.morally she don't have any fault if his husband was in love with other girl,but legally u can file divorce petition us 13hma or 13b if ur frnds wife agree to do so.mental torture is also consider as cruality she can file case of 498a,406ipc.better to settle the matter with her consent
