There are two preliminary issues:
Is the the person a Government employee? If he is a Government employee, he needs to get permission for the second marriage.
Secondly, what is the cause for childlessness? Is it solely because of the first wife? It could very well be that the problem is with the husband. If so, he may even go for a third or fourth marriage.
Please ascertain these aspects. The issues you have raised are secondary.

Confirm "his" statement qua divorce from his wife, reasons for divorce, character and incidents and social standing before finalisation of contracting the marriage.
