The assumption seems to be that Cain and Abel were the first two children of Adam and Eve. Although Cain does seem to be the firstborn, the text is not clear that Abel was the second born, but only that he was the second son. Later, the
narrative indicates that Adam and Eve
produced "other sons and daughters." So, it is possible that Adam and Eve
produced daughters between the births
of Cain and Abel. It is also likely that
others sons and daughters were
produced after the birth of Abel. We
don't know how old Cain and Abel were
when Cain murdered his brother, but
they seem to be at least young adults,
since they are both engage in a trade for their living. The second thing one
notices is Cain's seeming paranoia about being found and revenge being taken against his for killing Abel. The only way this makes sense is if the brothers and sisters of Abel were upset that Cain had killed their brother. Although the period of time between the birth of Cain and the death of Abel is not given in the Bible, it would seem that this period was probably over 100 years, since the birth of Adam's next son, Seth is said to have occurred when Adam was 130 years old. Adam and Eve could have produced many daughters during that period of time.

So, the Genesis narrative suggests that
Cain had other brothers and sisters when he was exiled by God. One of those sisters married Cain (or more likely had already been married to Cain when he killed his brother), became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch somewhere east of Eden.

Many people will say Cain practice incest.However, all of these events happened before the law was given. According to the Apostle Paul, when there is no law, there can be no violation of the law or sin. So, since the
law against incest was not given until
thousands of years later, there was no
theological problem with Cain marrying
his sister.
for the Law brings about wrath,
but where there is no law, there
also is no violation. ( Romans 4:15)

After man became to loose the perfection in them which causes man to die below 200,God notice the genetic defeat in man and He command Moses to number isreal and after that he set the law of incest:

Leviticus 18:6-18
"'No one is to approach any close
relative to have sexual relations. I
am the LORD. Do not dishonor
your father by having sexual
relations with your mother. She is
your mother; do not have
relations with her. Do not have
sexual relations with your father's
wife; that would dishonor your
father. Do not have sexual
relations with your sister, either
your father's daughter or your
mother's daughter, whether she
was born in the same home or
elsewhere. Do not have sexual
relations with your son's daughter
or your daughter's daughter; that
would dishonor you. Do not have
sexual relations with the
daughter of your father's wife,
born to your father; she is your
sister. Do not have sexual
relations with your father's sister;
she is your father's close relative.
Do not have sexual relations with
your mother's sister, because she
is your mother's close relative. Do
not dishonor your father's
brother by approaching his wife
to have sexual relations; she is
your aunt. Do not have sexual
relations with your daughter-in-
law. She is your son's wife; do not
have relations with her. Do not
have sexual relations with your
brother's wife; that would
dishonor your brother. Do not
have sexual relations with both a
woman and her daughter. Do not
have sexual relations with either
her son's daughter or her
daughter's daughter; they are her
close relatives. That is
wickedness. Do not take your
wife's sister as a rival wife and
have sexual relations with her
while your wife is
living.'"
