If she has married during the pendency of the divorce proceedings, that marriage is invalid and null and void in the eyes of law.

You can withdraw your consent for divorce and can lodge a criminal complaint with the local police against her and her new partner for the offences of bigamy under section 494 IPC.

They can be punished for 7 years imprisonment for this offence.

You may even refuse to go for any compromise that her side people may offer due to this since she has done lot of damages to you.
