It depends entirely upon the church. The Catholic Church has specific rules about marriages and annulments. If they go through the process, the church will allow them to do so.
Other churches vary considerably. Some don't allow it at all. Others have specific rules. Some look at it as that it is God's job to judge, not the people on Earth.

Church after the ex-spouse dies is a question that needs to be answered by a priest. Different priests may have different views.
Most main-line Protestant churches will permit divorced persons to be remarried in the church whether the ex-spouse is living or not. Other more conservative Protestant denominations and non-denominational congregations have a variety of practices and would need to be investigated separately.

∙ 13y agoIf you are Catholic you will most likely need to apply to have your first marriage annulled, or declared to have never taken place, since the Catholic Church sees marriage as a life long commitment. You need to check with the clergy at your church. Different Catholic cultures and areas have different practices.
