Hi
To take divorce parties should wait for a minimum period of one year. AS the marriage is registered the waiting period is one year from that date. There must be a reasonable ground for applying for divorce from one side. If the divorce is on mutual consent then no such reasons required.

Madam in this case the first marriage is valid and your colleague does not require to get divorce from her second husband as the second marriage is illegal, void and not valid, in order to get second marriage your friend should have obtained divorce from her first husband hence in this case the first husband can directly take her and even the police an help as the first marriage is valid. for more details contact.
She cannot file for Divorce as for divorce proceedings, the couple should have been married for at least 1 year. However she can file for Nullity of Marriage, meaning annulment that the marriage should not be considered legal.
