Best Answer
AnswerHe married his sister! this may seem perverse and immoral for today's standards but back than it was permitted.

Additional Thoughts:

Many feel that people were created perfect, and even after sinning, remained CLOSE to perfection for a time, each successive generation getting weaker and weaker, so in Cain's day, the serious genetic problems would not have existed as they do today. We're SO far from perfection now, our DNA so damaged, that siblings marrying could have really negative physical and mental consequences for the baby.

Cain marrying a sister, among the first people on earth, was a natural and necessary progression. In fact, the practice of marrying half sisters and cousins continued throughout The Bible for some time, including Abraham and Sarah(Genesis 20:12),Jacob and Rachel and others(Genesis 28:2 / Genesis 29:10-12/ Numbers 36:11). It wasn't until over 2000 years after Adam's creation, with the institution of the Law through Moses, that relations with CLOSE relatives were condemned as incest, though cousins were not included in this prohibition.(Leviticus 18:8-16).
