Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

Where does it actually say he went to live with other people, He didn't go live with others, he built his own city named for his son. Adam never had sexual relations with his daughters, only Eve his wife. His sons married their sisters and cousins and so forth. La'mech was the first man to take two wives.

Adam and Eve had other children and how they made babies, I don't know because I wasn't there. I hope that they had some way to artificially inseminate or something instead of incest.

well does the Bible actually say thathe had to go live with other people. I think it stated that he started his own people.

you have found another fatal flaw in the bible!
the notion that we all came from generations of incest and inbreeding.
TWICE (after the nonsense story of the Flood, too!)
what total and utter silliness.
