Cain married Abel's Sister
There is a pretty complicated question out there, that some people do not know how to answer. Who was Cain's wife? Now many people assume that Cain was sent away before he was married. They also assume that his Father would not allow him to marry one of his own sisters.
But the second assumption is much worse than the first. Adam and Eve were the only two people in the beginning. Adam and Eve produced many children. Those children would have married one another and produced more children. All human beings trace their family line back to Noah, and back to Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve's children would have married each other.
Cain's wife is Abel's sister. There was no other options. Each would produce of the same kind. Therefore, they married each other producing children who would marry each other. This could have continued for several generations marrying there sisters.
Especially in the case of Cain, Cain's children would have also had to inter marry. They would have continued to produce children. Even Native American and other modern tribal cultures would still have the practice of marrying within there own tribe, which would be within there extended family. Thus, these extended family relationships have continued today. Thank you.
