My understanding is that she couldn't marry. My reading of it is that in order to get divorced they had to show fault, and she hadn't had an affair or done anything wrong so he couldn't divorce her, and presumably he wasn't in a hurry to fess up to his doings. So they just separated, but were technically still married.
I’m not surprised she didn’t marry again! He was quite the shit, wasn’t he!!
He was pretty awful.

FASCINATING!
You'll never look at "A Christmas Carol" the same way again.
