Per Morgoth's Ring, the Valar ruled that if a spouse dies and decides to never emerge from Mandos, the surviving spouse may remarry. In the case of Finwe and Miriel, Miriel initially so elected. However, after Finwe's death, it was Finwe who elected to remain in Mandos and Miriel emerged. It is hinted that Finwe wanted to be with Feanor.
This comes from a series of heavily philosophical writings by JRRT and is not as simple as set forth above.
