Adam and Eve had more children. Cain married his sister. The story of Cain and Abel was centered upon them and not the whole family. It is believed that Adam and Eve had many children who intermarried. Kinda gross to think that we all came from inbreeding.

MANKIND ADAM
We all have read about Cain and Abel (Gen.4:8-17)
How Cain slew Abel, and God cursed Cain and drove him out.
Then Cain said (Gen.4:14) “that every one that findeth me shall slay me”
Who is Cain worried about?
Then in (Gen.4:17) And Cain knew his wife
Where did Cain find a wife?
The answer is in the Hebrew text (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).
Gen.1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: ….
The word “man” (Gen.1:26)
in Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם )
with no article means “MANKIND”
The word “man” (Gen.1:26) transliterated is (adam).
Gen.2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ….
The word “man” (Gen.2:7)
in Hebrew text looks like this ( את־האדם )
with article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADAM”.
The word “man” (Gen.2:7) transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).
So on the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.
On the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADAM.

God created other humans after Adam and Eve, he didn't stop at creating two. God probably created a wife for Cain.

In the bible, only certain name of importance are mentioned. If the lady name is mentioned, that lady must be very important.
Of cause the wives is his sisters. Incest as a sin only comes after the Mosic law, to curb the inbreeding problem.
Moreover, in Gen12:2, God intended for the Israeltie to bless the world. If everyone are still allow to married within their family, how will the name of God be known to others? How can the others be blessed by God?
