She has committed a crime, bigamy. You should NOT remarry until the divorce is final.

Your spouse is not legally remarried. You must be divorced before you can remarry.

You must get a divorce first. It's not all that hard or expensive. She, for her part, is committing the crime of bigamy.

The fact that they are breaking the law and committing bigamy doesn't mean that you can. You will need to get a divorce.

Your spouses remarriage is not no good. No you cannot remarry until you and your spouse are legally divorced. My suggestion is that both of you officially get divorced and then both of you will be able to remarry.
