Is your friend a Muslim? Second marriage is valid and legal, otherwise it would attract the provisions of bigamy.
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 10 March 2015
conversion for the sake of remarriage is not valid conversion and bigamy may be attracted.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 10 March 2015
Agree with the experts.

Dear friend,

When U post a query U have to come out with the total facts. If he is a hindu cannot do so, if a muslim cn do so,so please clarify
ajay sethi (Expert) 10 March 2015
you cannot remarry without divorcing your first wife . conversion into islam wont make your second marriage legal

If that is so, many disgruntled Hindu husbands would have opted for change of religion!
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 12 March 2015
As per Muslim personal law a Muslim male can marry more than one wife at a time, but remember that all the wives are to be muslim as well, moreover it will be construed as bigamy if he is marrying another female for the sake of marriage by converting himself to Islam.
