Are you asking if there is a marriage between a brother and
his biological sister???

Well I've never heard of this actually happening - I think every
religion and social custom must have had rules against this, but
I don't know that for sure.

The closest thing I have to this is my 3rd great grandfather
who married his step sister. . They were 15 and 13 when
they became step siblings, and married 5 yrs later.
Although they are not related at all, it always seemed a little
odd to me.

I do have sets of siblings from one family marrying sets of
siblings from another family.

My great grandfather and his brother married sisters.

I have a family where 3 brothers and a sister married
3 sisters and their brother. [Guess there were no other families
around?]

My grandmother and her first cousin married brothers.

A man who married his deceased brother's wife.

These kinds of marriages are good for consolidating the
tree though. Less families to track down...... LOL
