What is the status of an adulterous woman who moves in with a look-alike sister where the divorce may have been given to the sister, remarries and has a daughter?

A woman had an affair while married and he gave her divorce through an agent. And the woman was living with her sister, and when she covers her face she looks just like her sister, just as frivolous. And the agent went there with 2 witnesses to give the divorce to the wife, and he went back and said that he had given the divorce to the wife. After this the wife married to another man and had a daughter. And years later after the death of the woman, the daughter wishes to marry, and the mother's sister appears and reports that it was here that received the divorce from the agent, in place of her sister. And another man came, who is not careful about woman related prohibitions, and he said that on the day the divorce was delivered he was with one of the sisters in another city and he was arranging flowers with her on king's day. Now the question is if it is permissible to allow the daughter to be married, and if not what is the status of the sister?
