The story of creation and Adam and Eve was written by Mosses in the wilderness 3,500 years after the fact. Only the prominent people were remembered by name.
But Adam and Eve lived almost 1000 years and they were created not born so they were perfect. The idea was to have a lot of children in those days. Also, as you can see from other accounts women were never mentioned unless it was a special case. All their births were not even recorded.
As is the case in Africa today and in some Islamic countries just prior to this century. So it stands to reason that Adam and Eve had a majority of daughters,. Because some of the men took more than one wife. There was no law against marrying sisters or nieces or even aunts. So if a person can grow up and get married by 13 or 14 years old and then they have children.
So there could have been many generations of children by the time Cain took a wife.

It was Eve.
Check the account in Genesis.
But Adam and Eve had many children, not just Cain and Abel.

the place did Cain Get His spouse? In Genesis 4:sixteen it says, "Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17And Cain had kin together with his spouse and he or she conceived, and gave start to Enoch; and he equipped a city, and referred to as the call of the city Enoch, after the call of his son." Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve had 2 sons: Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, replaced into exiled via God, and then in Genesis 4:17 we examine that Cain had kin together with his spouse. the place did Cain get his spouse? the respond is ordinary: Cain married the two his sister or a niece. In Genesis 5:4 we see that Adam had different little young infants. "it is the e book of the generations of Adam. in the day while God created guy, He made him in the likeness of God. 2He created them woman and male, and He blessed them and named them guy in the day while they have been created. 3When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his very own likeness, in accordance to his photograph, and named him Seth. 4Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth have been 8 hundred years, and he had different little young infants. 5So each and every of the days that Adam lived have been 9 hundred and thirty years, and he died," (Gen. 5:a million-5). provided that Adam lived numerous hundred years, having somewhat some infants replaced into not a issue. The Genesis account does not let us know on the subject of the order of the births nor does it let us know how previous they have been. via having many infants it quite is quite attainable that there have been many women persons around. this could advise that Cain married the two a sister or a niece or another relation. needless to say at this element, the question of inbreeding is raised. regardless of the undeniable fact that it's not a issue early on in the human race by using fact the genetic line replaced into so organic. subsequently, the prohibition against incest replaced into not proclaimed till lots lots later (Lev. 18:6-18).

We don't know how many children Adam and Eve had. Remember, they lived hundreds of years. Children went out on their own. The answer to your question is probably a niece or cousin. Childen of Adam and Eve's other children.

Abel didn't have kids. I forgot if the Bible mentions Cain's wife's name.
Btw, this is an edit. I misunderstood the question the 1st time I answered it. I thought you meant who was Cain and Abel's mother.

Able and Cain married their sisters. Adam(PBUH*) and Eve had more than just Able and Cain.

There is no record of Abel having children.
Cain's children would have been from his sisters, and eventually other female members of the family.
There were no laws prohibiting what WE now term incest.

Cain's wife was Lilith, Able was killed before he could have children.

Who knows? The bible has so much inbreeding, it should be read with a Kentucky accent.
