Section 15 permits remarriage immediately after the divorce decree becomes final (i.e., appeal period expired or appeal dismissed). No waiting period or court permission is required. The only caveat is that if an appeal is pending against the divorce decree, remarriage must wait until the appeal is resolved. This distinguishes Hindu law from some other personal laws that impose waiting periods (like iddat in Muslim law).
The text reads: Section 15 HMA: When a marriage has been dissolved by decree of divorce and no appeal lies or the appeal period has expired, it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again.
