Yes you can marry in the Catholic Church. Valid Christian marriage performed without impediment cannot be dissolved or annulled. "The marriage bond has been established by God Himself in such a way that a marriage concluded and consummated between baptized persons can never be dissolved." God does however; dissolve the marital relationship in certain circumstances. The simplest example would be the death of a spouse. "Thus a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning her husband. … But if her husband dies she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. "We can see then, that the marriage relationship can be dissolved under certain circumstances and that God recognizes this dissolution. In the case of dissolution by the death of a spouse, He recognizes the right of the living spouse to remarry.http://www.catholic.org/printer_friendly.php?id=2484§ion=Featured+Today
