He married his own sister, as this was before the DNA of man had become so muddled with mutations that incest was not conducive to successful reproduction. For questions like this I suggest answersingenesis.org. Below is a link to a more complete answer for your question, if you are interested.

Genesis doesn't tell us whether Abel was married. Cain would have had to marry his sister or else there were some other humans running around where Adam and Eve and family hung out.
Since Cain was given "the Mark of Cain" to protect him from other men, the Bible suggests there were other humans--probably several thousand at least--at the time of Cain and Abel.

Interesting question - This was the first murder, right? You know anyone who married a murderer? The surviver in this murder, Cain, is the only one of the two who could have fathered any children...married or not. If Abel went to the spirit world and "married" someone else there, how could we verify that? Oh, yes, who would have performed the ceremony? Adam? Eve?

Unknown, Where many people make the mistake is thinking that the Bible is all inclusive, meaning it gives every small detail of God's plan, well it doesn't. There are some that say Cain married one of his on sisters, which beings up the whole incest topic and there are those that believe God created a woman for him as He did Adam, she just isn't included in the Bible. For someone to think that every thing was included in the Bible is the height of ignorance.

Abel didn't get the chance to marry anyone because Cain killed him.

Able didnt marry anyone because Cain killed him but Cain probably married a girl from the next village over.
The bible says Adam and Eve were the FIRST not the ONLY.

Cain married some daughter of Adam and Eve, Incest is justified if survival of ENTIRE human race depends on it.
Also Lot had sex with his daughters, so what?

don't even bother, there are so many 'abstracted' get out clauses you are wasting your time asking this question. literal believers will extrapolate and speculate, (make it up), which strikes me as strange for people who are supposed to believe the bible explains everything.
