The marriage is void if it was solomnized during the valid subsisting first marriage of the husband. Your wife can obtain a decree of nullity from the court.

Contact a local lawyer and file a petition u/s 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act in the court. Your friend will have to prove in the court that her husband was already married at the time of her marriage. When it is proved, the court will grant a decree of nullity declaring her marriage null and void.
