Gertrude and Claudius were in-laws before the murder of King Hamlet. When they married afterwards, it was considered incest.
Hamlet was upset by his mother's speedy marriage because it suggests she didn't mourn for her husband properly. Also, the idea of marrying her husband's brother disgusts and angers Hamlet, particularly since Gertrude is getting old and "The heyday in the blood is tame".
Hamlet disapproves of the marriage which is why he's always thinking about it.
