They married a couple of the Neanderthals that had populated the earth for eons before their story was written.
(Imagine the surprise on the faces of the rest of humanity when those two popped out of Eden and explained that they were the first people on Earth. That must have been absolutely shocking...:)

Actually, there are 3 named sons of Adam and Eve and there is no mention that Abel ever married.
That said, hints in the original Hebrew suggest that that Cain and Abel were each born with one or more twin sisters. Presumably, Abel's sister(s) were to be married to Cain and vice versa.
Also, it states that Adam lived for 930 years and had sons and daughters.
There ya go.

they first had the 2 sons and one murdered the other...then he was banished..to a land ...Adam and Eve continued having kids
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Since the law was not yet implemented it was not against Gods purpose for sister and brother to marry...the bible does NOT give you a time ....that is how long Cain actually waited to have a wife ..it just says He knew his wife...there are no other people that God din't tell us about ...it is obvious he married one of his sisters..or possibly a niece (as we would call them today)...God bless

If the first people were Adam and Eve sent to populate the world, don't you think that the women their sons bred with were their sisters? Adam and Eve's daughters? It wasn't until later that incest was deemed wrong.

They had more children. At each pregnancy Eva gave birth to twins; two sons or two daughters or one each in every delivery . Twins from same birth were brothers or sisters. They were married to twins from another birth. This is how the population increased in those days.

Where did Cain get his wife? Adam “became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain took one of his sisters or perhaps one of his nieces as a wife. Later, God’s Law to the Israelites did not permit the marriage of a fleshly brother and sister.—Leviticus 18:9.
One might think that after the murder of Abel, only his guilty brother Cain and their parents, Adam and Eve, were left on the earth. However, Adam and Eve had a large family. According to Genesis 5:3, 4, Adam had a son named Seth. The account adds: “The days of Adam after his fathering Seth came to be eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters.” So Cain married his sister or perhaps one of his nieces. Since mankind was then so close to human perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the health risks that may imperil the offspring of such a union today.
Adam was cast out of Eden into an unsubdued earth that was cursed to produce thorns and thistles, there to sweat out an existence, harvesting the bitter fruits of his sin. Outside the garden, awaiting death, Adam fathered sons and daughters, the names of only three being preserved—Cain, Abel, and Seth. To all of his children Adam passed on hereditary sin and death, since he himself was sinful.—Ge 3:23; 4:1, 2, 25.
Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. At Genesis 4:1, 2 we read: “In time [Eve] gave birth to Cain and said: ‘I have produced a man with the aid of Jehovah.’ Later she again gave birth, to his brother Abel.” As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?
The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces. At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.

Adam and Eve had many children, the Bible only names Cain, Able and Seth.
Cain would have married one of his sisters. The gene pool was pure at that time so no defects occurred, and it was not counted as a sin at that time.

you will possibly not prefer to lose your finance, he has placed you in this awkward place however, they're his toddlers and his accountability, not yours, I no you attempt to be a family contributors yet you have under no circumstances bonded with those toddlers such as you have your person, subsequently they'll consistently be somebody else's toddlers. you're able to desire to debate this, if he expects you to strengthen his toddlers then its your rules not his, If he can not stay with that then he will could make different preparations. Your existence as is all of ours is barely short, you mustn't stay it being unhappy with the aid of the fault of others. in the adventure that your fiance isn't happy with this and he comes to a decision to go away then you definitely he may well be an exceedingly egocentric individual and clearly not precise for you or absolutely everyone else. those dads might desire to be taught you could not circulate around dumping your toddlers directly to different persons and lead them to and the youngsters unhappy basically because of the fact it suits them. stable luck furnish
