The Complete Passuk

וְאִשָּׁ֥ה אֶל־אֲחֹתָ֖הּ לֹ֣א תִקָּ֑ח לִצְרֹ֗ר לְגַלּ֧וֹת עֶרְוָתָ֛הּ עָלֶ֖יהָ בְּחַיֶּֽיהָ׃

Torah Temima points to Yevamos 8b.

Core Text — Yevamos 8b

בחייה — כל שבחייה, ואפילו נתגרשה.

English: “In her lifetime” — as long as she is alive, even if divorced.

Divorce does not lift the ban

Even after divorce, the living sister remains forbidden as a second wife.
