Until the judge issues an order that says something along the lines of "The parties are awarded Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage, and the bonds of matrimony are hereby dissolved," you are still married and you cannot remarry. If your original judgment said something like that, then the rehearing won't affect it. In a rehearing, judges will sometimes reconsider the distribution of debt and assets or custody and support, but they don't reconsider the dissolving of the marriage.
