When a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of
divorce and either there is no right of appeal against the decree or, if there is such a right of appeal, the
time for appealing has expired without an appeal having been presented, or an appeal has been presented
but has been dismissed, it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again.
