For a second marriage to be legal, the first would have to have been dissolved via legal divorce. If the first marriage was not legally dissolved, then a second marriage would neither be legal or illegal; it would simply be redundant. Married couples often renew their wedding vows, but there is no legal connection.

If you were married and then got married again and the first marriage got resolved years later would you have to get divorced from the 2nd marriage?
If there was not a legal dissolution of marriage petition filed and a final divorce decree granted, the first marriage would still be valid and the second marriage would be inconsequential in the legal sense, meaning, divorce proceedings would not be required for the second marriage.

Is unlawfull to remarry same person without a divorce?
It is not unlawful but it would be of no effect. You can arrange a "ceremony" where you reaffirm your marriage vows but it wouldn't be an official marriage. You would not be issued a marriage license if you applied for one because you would have to disclose to the issuing authority that you are already married. Marriage is a civil legal status.

You annulled your marriage and now you want to get back together again?
As you know there is a span of time where a newly married couple can get an annulment. This means you are no longer married. If you choose to get married again then you would get married either by The Justice of the Peace or a Minister/Priest, etc.
Can you get married again if your first marriage wasn't legal?
It would guessed that due to the first marrage being not legal or not authroised offically, that being married 'again' would be perfectly legal, other than any personal issues that may be involved. However if the first marrage was illegal, depending on your location and current government stance- than it probably doesn't count as offical either. In this case than a 'second' marriage would be assumed to be perfectly legal.
