You were legally married to your first spouse until you have received your decree absolute. Therefore you cannot legally marry prior to receiving your decree absolute.

Maybe someone will be able to advise you of a route.

For reference: Overseas Divorce Decrees in Pakistan..Recognised in UK. The article also covers divorce law in Azad Kashmir, which apparently still allows bare/triple talaq.

As an aside, after this week's judgment by the Indian Supreme Court ruling triple talaq unconstitutional in India, Azad Kashmir is likely the only legal jurisdiction in South Asia that still allows it.

I suggest that you do as others have done in a similar situation and apply for a fiance visa and marry in the UK within 6 months.

After you are married (and before the fiance visa expires) she will have to submit a FLR(M) application from within the UK, which will grant her an initial 2.5 year visa as your spouse.
