What were the Sadducees trying to do in questioning Jesus about the woman marrying the seven different brothers?

Believing themselves knowledgeable of the Scriptures, yet, the Sadducees didn't believe in the "resurrection." In Matthew 22, they were trying to create a confusing imaginary future scenario regarding the "alleged" resurrection, that would stump Jesus [thus, trying to silence Him].
But, instead of arguing with the Sadducees over vain philosophical points... Jesus silenced them by pointing out their ignorance of the Scriptures:
"...'YOUR PROBLEM IS that YOU DON'T KNOW THE SCRIPTURES, and YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF GOD...'" (Matt.22:29 NLT New Living Translation)

What was disingenuous about the question the Sadducees put to Jesus in Mark Book 12 verses 18 to 27?
Like the Pharisees in the verses before this, they were trying to discredit Jesus with their hypocrisy or in the Sadducees case, the doctrine of the resurrection. The Sadducees were an 'elite' group of religious leaders who denied the existence of angels and the resurrection. They rejected the oral traditions and accepted only the validity of the Law - the Pentateuch or 1st five books of OT. They knew Deuteronomy 25: 5,6 which supported the custom of marrying the widow of one's brother but it was not absolutely binding (Deuteronomy 25:7-10). So this story shows their vain attempt at discrediting the doctine of the resurrection. However, Jesus using the Scripture, not only wrong but ignorant of the meaning of Scripture - lacking spiritual insight to understand God's purposes.
