Good question and answered both by Scripture and marital vows:
Quote:

1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

and I believe that the reverse would apply here
and the vow:
"till
death do us part" (or similar words)
