The second marriage is probably void, you would want to check the specific marraige laws of the area you are in to be sure.

Laws vary from state to state but it is probably against the law. If the state wanted to charge you, they would charge you with bigamy.

The two that would be obvious are: 1. It is illegal and 2. the new marriage would not be real or legal.

I would question the intelligence of the person doing this and the intelligence of the person they were marrying. Who gets married in that short a dating time frame anyway!

You would not be legally married, in that your (second) marriage would not be recognized as valid. In the US, you cannot legally be married to more than one person at a time. You would have had to lie on the application for a marriage license where it asked if you were single. Doing so could subject you to charges of perjury.

If you are getting a divorce, it's not legal for you to get married again until the divorce decree has been issued and any waiting period has expired. In cases where an inadvertant error was made, the divorcing person would normally not be prosecuted, but the marriage would need to be performed again under legal circumstances.

In some states you would need to remarry. In some states you could go before a judge for a waiver that would confirm your marriage if it was performed in good faith although during the NISI period. This is a serious issue and you should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who can review the situation and explain your options in your jurisdiction.

The answer depends on the laws in your particular jurisdiction. In some states the pending divorce is not granted and the marriage is simply ended by death. In that case you would be the widow and the case moves to Probate court. In some states the Divorce court retains control over the marital assets and can divide assets and debts between the still living spouse and the decedent's estate.

You could. It is against the law to apply for a marriage license and lie about still being married.

No, you cannot remarry until the final decree has been granted and if applicable the waiting period in the state where the divorce was granted has expired.
