Cain, Abel, Seth, and all the rest of the first generation had to have intermarried with their siblings as there were no other people around at that time. As the size of the human race increased, you will find that God increased the restrictions on what was prohibited in the way of intermarriage.
The two main issues involved with incense are that usually it is a young child (girl) being forced into sexual relations (raped) before they are of age to even understand what is happening. The other is that children born from such close relatives are more likely to have birth defects.
The first issue is handled when you read through the genelogy of the first generations. You will find that most of the parents were over 100 years of age before they are listed as having had a child (the youngest is 70). So it does not appear that the intermarriage was involving minors and forced or abusive sex.
The second issue was handled by the way in which Adam and Eve were created. Eve was made from "a rib" (KJ vtranslation) taken from Adam's side. More literally "a cage" (original of the English word "cell" as in human cell). Eve was not a "clone", or she would have been male, the same as Adam. What God did was "reverse" the genetics, male to female being an obvious side effect, so that the genetic material of the two was as far opposite as it is possible to be. This would allow for all the variety we see within the human gene pool. But also make their offspring so geneticaly varied that the risk of deformity would be minimal. God knew that the first few generations would have to be "inbred", and so prepared them genetically to be able to handle it.

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.

Cain undoubtedly married one of his sisters.

If you're referring to Cain, he was sent off as a fugitive taking a sister with him as his wife. Eventually he died.
