Speed of Divorce (in Scotland)

My great-grandaunt married her second husband (the first had died) in Jan 1889. They had a son in Jan 1990.

She then marries husband number 3 in May 1990 (with certain "inaccuracies" on the marriage certificate).

Husband number 2 did not die until 1914.

Was there time for a divorce to be granted between wedding 2 and 3 in those days?
