She can have a second marriage only upon attaining divorce, that is upon the dissolution of the first marriage. If she's facing problems with her husband on grounds of cruelty, (or any of the grounds mentioned u/s 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act,) she can file a petition for divorce. Only once the decree is granted can she legally have a second marriage.

Check section 13 for full grounds.

Also, before she's able to attain such a decree, please note to keep the following section in mind.
