Yes, if the woman's previous marriage is declared null.
All previous marriages, civil or religious, have to be dealt with before someone can be married in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.
Jesus said, "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)
However there may be hope of a declaration of nullity.
The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.
Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.
Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.
Approach the appropriate person your in your parish who has been trained in the process. If you encounter difficulties, you may go directly to the diocese.
Be prayerful, honest and patient. It takes a while.
With love in Christ.

sure and no. The non-Catholic Christian Church probable won't care relating to the bride having been until eventually now married in the Catholic Christian Church. consequently, the non-Catholic Christian Church can not invite however if or no longer she have been given her previous marriage annulled. in spite of the undeniable fact that, this would not recommend she would not ought to get one. . . IF this woman remarries in a non-Catholic Christian Church with out an annullment, she would be waiting to nonetheless be married to her first better half in the eyes of God. consequently, she is seen as residing in sin along with her new better half and extremely almost unquestionably committing fornication with him. IF she have been to prepare for an annullment, there is often the prospect, threat in actuality, that she would be waiting to no longer get one. if so, she would have the ability to't remarry, era. If she gets an annullment from the Church, it will be by fact something develop into got here upon to have made her previous marriage null and void; subsequently she develop into no longer married before everything. which means her marriage in the non-Catholic Christian Church wouuld be valid and ok in the eyes of God.

In the Church's eyes, the marriage (protestant, catholic or whatever...) is still standing: divorce is not a religious process, but a legal one.
It would be possible, as long as the previous marriage was annulated.
The downside of it is I understand it can take a looooong time to do this!

The male is free to marry- his marriage ended in the death of his spouse.
for the female-
If her ex is still alive and she is NOT Catholic- then she needs an annulment. Marriage between two baptised non Catholics are considered valid until proven otherwise.
If her ex is still alive and she IS Catholic, she need only go to Confession- her marriage was invalid, and the divorce sorrected the situation.
If her ex is dead, she is free to marry because she is no longer married. ( marriage ends in death)

It would be ok so long as the female was not involved in a marriage that was "blessed by the church". Unless either she or her former husband were catholics it is very likely that marraige would not be recognized by the catholic church.

Yes they can. The catholic church used to be really strict about this, but they have relaxed the rules a lot and will be happy to marry you. Best wishes. x

No I do not think that the Catholic church will allow the weding to take place, due to one of them being divorced.

I don't think so, especially if the female's first husband is still alive and there was no impediment when they were first married.
