No, not unless the previous 6 marriages have been annulled. Divorce is seen only as a legal separation by the Catholic Church. When annulment is granted by the Catholic Church, it is as if the marriage never existed and you can only get a marriage annulled under certain circumstances, such as:
- Either spouse was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage;
- Either spouse was too young to be married, or too young without required court or parental consent (unless, in some cases, where the marriage continued beyond the age of consent, which validates it);
- Either spouse was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the marriage;
- Either spouse was mentally incompetent at the time of the marriage;
- If the consent to the marriage was based on fraud or force;
- Either spouse was physically incapable to be married (typically, inability to have sexual intercourse which persists) at the time of the marriage;
- The marriage is prohibited by law due to the relationship between the parties. This is the "prohibited degree of consanguity", or blood relationship between the parties. The most common legal relationship is 2nd cousins; 1st cousins are generally not legal.
- Prisoners sentenced to a term of life imprisonment may not marry.

It depends if she got married in the Catholic Church before, or did she get married by a Justice of the Peace, or a minister? Did she get divorced, was she widowed, or did she get her marriage annuled? It takes a lot into account when getting married in the Catholic Church. She could always call the rectory and get it right from the horses mouth.

Getting married in a Catholic church is a big deal. With your friends track record, I'm not so sure that she takes the committment of marriage seriously. I would advise her to seriously think about getting married in a catholic church because it's sacred and should not be taken lightly.

Not unless her other 6 husbands died while she was married to them. Or unless she gets all the others anulled. And I can guarantee that the Catholic church will never anull her 6 other marriages.

Not unless she has had 6 annulments. Or has been widowed 6 times.

I think it would depend on whether she has been married in the church before, because if not, she may be considered to have never been married.
She should talk to her priest.

are her previous vows annulled or are her previous husbands dead? or a little of both. that is the only way a real priest will let her marry in his church.

Probably not, unless she's widowed I think they have very strict rules about divorce.
