And the Almighty said:

{And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein forever.} (Al-Baqarah: 25).

The Outward of this discourse indicates that the People of Paradise marry. These are among the Statements of Concealment (Aqwal al-Talbis), for concealment is the opposite of Explicit Declaration (Al-Tasrih).

Exoteric and esoteric marriage... Contradictory sayings and the condemnation of liars.

That which contradicts this saying is what Lord Christ—peace be upon him—declared explicitly in the twenty-second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, when the Sadducees came to him—those who say there is no resurrection—and questioned him, saying:

Teacher, Moses said: If a man dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, 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.’
