He remarried with a Vanya, dunderhead!
There was a huge debate among the Valar about that though. Marriage is supposed to be binding, and MÃ*riel was supposed to return among the Living, death being an unnatural thing for the Eldar. So really Finwë was allowed to remarry because MÃ*riel refused to return, right? Many of the Elves who died before the Great Journey or many of the Avari are said to have remained in Mandos, having no desire to live again. So Imin and Iminyë may have lived together in Mandos until the end of Time, it's possible.

This is off the main topic, but I have a question:
What is Mandos like? Do you have a physical body there? Can you live happily, or do you spend all your time sitting around (floating around?) and being introspective? I'm sure somebody smart must know the answer to at least some of these questions.

Not to mention, that Numenorian law stated that Decendants of Elros could only marry among eachother to keep the length of their lives longer.
