The answer

The summary of the answer is:

If you reconciled with your divorced wife during her ' (waiting period) through word or action, there is no issue with that, and she remains your wife.

However, if you did not reconcile with her during her 'iddah, she has become irrevocably separated from you, and she is not lawful for you except through a new marriage contract and a new mahr (dowry), provided the conditions of the contract are met, such as the presence of a guardian (wali) and two witnesses.

If the guardian is unable to be present but is satisfied with the marriage, he can appoint a Muslim in Holland to officiate the marriage on his behalf. This marriage is valid and does not require registration in courts.
