The answer

It is not clear whether the uncle divorced his wife or not. If he did not divorce her, she is still his wife, and his separation from her does not affect the marriage bond. He must be just between her and his other wife and fulfill her rights. However, if he divorced her, she is a stranger to him, and he may take her back with a new contract if he has not divorced her three times.
