I believe Jesus was asked, which brother will the woman belong to, in heaven. And he replied, She will belong to NO ONE, because in heaven we are angels, and have no husband or wife.

It means trouble, that's what it means. It means that there is going to be strife and jealousy and who but God knows where that will lead.
Matthew 19:4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
Amos 2:7 .... a man and his father go in to the same girl, so that my holy name is profaned;

You'll find it in Leviticus.
It's a command to insure that the eldest son's line will not die out just because he croaks before he has a son.
His widow is supposed to marry the next younger brother and their first-born son will be considered the son of the dead elder brother. Other children will belong to the brother still alive and begetting them.
It's called the "Levirate law" and its original intention was to ensure that the line of Levite priests never died out. Later it was expanded for the population as a whole.

Why? I believe the scripture you seek is/can be found in "The Chronicles Of The Darlinghurst Squats-Sydney,Australia",(1977).

I think it is in there somewhere where a woman should only sleep with her husband. So whichever brother is her husband, the one she has taken a vow to love forever foresaking all others.

Onan's married brother died.
He was supposed to sleep with the widow, so she could have a child & gain inheritance.
Onan got greedy, he slept with her, but then pulled out.

If the same woman they sleep with is their mother, or their sister, it can be a cause for stress.
