What should I do if I was married to a man who suddenly disappeared due to war, and I don't remember the date of our marriage contract? Someone has proposed to me, and I want to get married.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
You must be certain that the duration of the contract has ended, and it is not permissible to contract a new marriage before this certainty. Additionally, after confirming the expiration of the contract, you must observe the waiting period before marrying the second person if there was any consummation in the first contract.
May you be successful in all good.
