Yes, a person can marry again after getting divorced, either by mutual consent divorce or the regular (contested) divorce. The relevant legal provision is contained in Section 15 of the Hindu Marriage Act, which is reproduced below:
15. Divorced persons when may marry again.—When a marriage has been dissolved by a decree of divorce and either there is no right of appeal against the decree or, if there is such a right of appeal the time for appealing has expired without an appeal having been presented or an appeal has been presented but has been dismissed, it shall be lawful for either party to the marriage to marry again.
