Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
If the girl accepts islām and marries your friend then they as husband and wife may perform salāh in jamā῾t. In that instance, the wife must stand behind the husband and not in line with him. However, it is better for a woman to perform salāh by herself.
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
