Question
If a woman is divorced from her first husband and remarries and her second husband dies, is she considered a divorcee or a widow?
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom
As unfortunate the situation described is, the fact that the same woman became a widow as a result of her second husband's death it does not alter her previous situation of being divorced.So although she is a widow from her second husband, she is still a divorcee.
All the best.
