She can, depending on certain conditions. Judgement is already posted in the family forum. Spend sometime to read it. Also refer to Dr. Bharti Majumdar's query. You can check other Experts' opinions, given there.

Note: I am not an advocate. The judgement and query I have referred to pertains to Hindu Marriage and Special Marriage Act.
