Yes, but it is very uncommon and this is what i was referring to when i said a woman needs to get the church leadership and her exhusbands approval. And i don't mean local leadership. It might start with local leadership but interviews will continue until (if) you eventually land with the first presidency (the prophet and his #1 and #2).

They don't make it easy and it's considered an exception to the rule more than anything. And if you don't get your ex husband's permission then it'll be that much harder. Growing up there was a woman locally whose exhusband was inactive and refused to give permission. 40 years later she is in her 70s and still cannot remarry in the church. I know she tried again 10 years ago but it never went anywhere.

And from my own personal experience as a man, when i had a civil divorce i had numerous meetings with my church leadership trying to determine what this meant for my eternal salvation and also my ex's. Not one person ever mentioned unsealing. I was encouraged to marry again and they told me not to worry about her. They told me i would have no problem marrying in the temple again but never discussed her options.
