second marriage
Wedding after divorce
A second marriage is a marriage entered into after a first marriage has ended through divorce or death of a spouse.
The term implies sequence rather than judgment, though second marriages historically carried social stigma, particularly for divorcees.
Her second marriage was happier than her first.
