Generally, the spouse who want to remarry has to wait until the appeal time expires and then go for remarrying, but if the divorce is a mutual consent one, then immediately either of the spouses can go for remarrying or basing on the agreement between them.

Hello,

After the divorce, your wife has to marry only after the appeal period of 90 days is over. If your wife remarries within the appeal period and if you go for an appeal during this period and you succeed, your wife's marriage will be considered as a void marriage.
