Hi
First your friend should get divorced and also close the cases of 498A and MC.
Subsequent to divorce, he can marry a girl of his choice(hindu/muslim/christian).
When the first wife is alive or when the divorce proceedings are pending, your friend cannot marry another woman even if he converts to ISLAM.

As I understand the marriage with the hindu girl is subsisting, so he cannot remarry again else he will be liable for u/s. 494 IPC. However, there is nothing to stop him from converting his religion. After the first marriage is put to an end by the family court. You can proceed with marrying the said muslim girl. You have to fight the 498 and MC case in the court.
