“The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. Last of all the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.” Matthew 22:23-28
The Sadducees evidently overlook this law: “A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 7:39
At the resurrection all will be free from their marriages in the first life. They can remarry whom they choose. Those that choose second death will let their spouses choose a new spouse.
