It appears that both of you are belonging to Hindu community. In hindus marriage is not a contract. It is a sacred relationship. If you are not having living spouse or if you are divorced your living spouse you can get marry with widow. You can marry her according to Hindu customs prevailing in your community and Saptapadi is very important or you can register your marriage in the jurisdictional sub-registrar office as per the provisions of Special Marriage Act.
