The Ruling on the Marriage of the Wife of the Missing Person

Question
A woman whose husband is detained did not know whether he was alive or dead, so she married another man. Then she learned that he is alive. What is the ruling on her second marriage?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: If the judge has annulled the previous marriage, then the new marriage is valid, and God knows best.
