The fact that it was sactioned by BD does not allow her to remain married to the second husband!

Right. She can only remain married to the first. But nonetheless, the children from the second marriage, even though permitted under the circumstances are still mamzeirim. I guess I wasn’t clear in my summation.

But that being said, why wouldn’t our case be comparable? She is permitted to remarry (since she has positive evidence that her husband died) but if he should somehow return (say via Techias HaMeisim) then her children by her second husband are mamzeirim.

Since I don’t believe that to actually be the case, I would think that her first marriage is actually terminated (in toto) by the death of her husband.
