Whether the same is applicable to all others is not clear.  If the marriage is not registered, may be it may not pose problems.  But, if in existence certificate being submitted annually there is a separate column, about this remarriage, and concealing and suppression of facts may spark a trouble.

'who remarry, and continue to depend on the family pension as their primary source of sustenance, cannot be denied the benefit.'

is a good logice for anyone.

However the employer/establishment may need an order from court of law.
