The years of seperation doesn't give someone right to marry with some other person. Only court has right to decide whether u r entitle to get married with someone when ur status is married. So obtain a divorce first.

She she definitely needs to get a decree (court order) of divorce from the family court. If she gets married without a decree of divorce, she will be liable to face criminal prosecution for the charges of Bigamy.

DIVORCE DEGREE FROM FAMILY COURT IS NEEDED. REMARRYING WITHOUT GETTING A OFFICIAL DEGREE OF DIVORCE IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENCE UNDER LAW.
OBTAINING A DIVORCE DEGREE IS MUST AND THE SAME CAN BE OBTAINED ONLY FORM FAMILY COURT.
