You need to read the context. The question is "Which man is her husband?". Jesus responds "There is no marriage in Heaven so none of them are her husband". Marriage is an earthly institution. When we get to Heaven, no one will be subject to anyone but God ie "Wives submit your Husband as to the Lord".

Now, instead of understanding the scriptures, we're to understand your rewording of the scriptures? The verse does not use the term "no marriage"; those are your words. Your paraphrasing is inaccurate.

It very specifically uses the terms "marry" and "are given in marriage", both of which are actions. Those actions will not be done after the resurrection.

To twist what is clearly a verse dealing with the activity of marrying into one dealing with the state of being married is simply wrong. Context doesn't change a verb into an adjective.

Some scholars believe the ultimate question was "Who will have sex with her?" and the answer was "There is no sex in Heaven".

What some scholars believe is entirely irrelevant.

But your "interpatation" is the relevant one?

No yours is

The actual word is "neither"which is translated from the (NT)Greek word, oute which means, "not, not even, no, nothing, none"
