This sounds like a comedic take on the 2004 movie Birth, only with genders changed.

It's actually pretty dramatic and I can see several points being quite divisive. Namely the man decides to marry his wife again when she gets older and the abusive mother.

Well according to the promo brief, she has all her memories of being his wife. He didn't move on, and she is moving forward. I have no problem if they remarry when she comes of age. Life is short, you can't put you life on hold, because some people don't approve. The complainers don't care about his or hers happiness.
Connor MacLeod loved his Heather, even when she aged and he didn't.

I think that's a "ni", not a "na".

Well, that is definitely a premise. I guess it all comes down to execution.

Live action series was great so I have no doubts that this will be too.

And it's another manga/anime with dead wife/mom number #100th or more and widowed husband/dad #100th or more. As usual, there's no manga/anime with the other way around.

Heard some people said that the story got uncomfortable (not sure if it's due to she having the adult mind, which makes it kinda pedophilic; or it simply straying from the story) because she, who is now an elementary school student, wants to date an elementary school boy and told the main character (the husband) to move on. Something along the line of that. Is it true? How does this issue end?

I've been reading the manga, and as the story is shaping up, can't see her ending up with the husband again. Though I wouldn't have an issue if it happens(past time skip of course).
I also don't see any problem if she adjust to her new life and DOES date someone else in the school in the process, after all she IS school-aged herself.
The manga is still ongoing so a lot can change depending on the author.

If she has no intention of being with him again, she should not have introduced herself. That would be sheer torture.
So we are going to beat her up over the age gap, if she gets back with her husband, and we are going to beat her up for wanting to date kids her own physical age, cause she is mentally an adult.
Looks like there is no winning there, and everyone is rooting for her to be lonely and unhappy.

Maybe the translation is not over, but the manga ended in December

Not really familiar with this but going by the descriptions I find the idea of her getting with someone her own age waaaaaay grosser than I do the husband. Kind of way more iffy consent issues there.
