Does a divorce that occurred under duress take effect, and is the second marriage that took place thereafter valid, and what are the implications of that?

The divorce of one who is coerced does not legally take effect, according to the majority of scholars, if the threat involves death or significant harm to oneself or property. However, if the husband ratifies the divorce after the coercion has ceased, it is then considered a valid and binding legal divorce. It appears that the first husband ratified the divorce willingly, as evidenced by his not demanding the return of his wife, which makes the wife's second marriage valid.
