No Catholic, regardless of rite, is allowed to remarry without an annulment (which is a declaration that the Sacramental aspect of the marriage never existed). Of course, in most instances, a civil divorce is required. But this is not to be confused with the Catholic Church granting or approving a divorce of a Sacramental marriage. The Church would, of course, approve of a civil divorce of a marriage that never existed Sacramentally-speaking, because in that case, there was never a marriage in the first place.
