The answer

The right of رجعة (revocation of divorce) belongs to the husband, and the wife's consent is not a prerequisite for it. If the husband pronounces رجعة during the ' (waiting period), the woman remains under his marital authority.

Therefore, her marriage to another man is considered invalid because she is still under the marital authority of her first husband. This second marriage must be annulled.
