Bible Answer: linjmer, There is no sin in Cain or Seth marrying their sisters or their cousins if that be the case since at that time there was no law against it and it was necessary to "be fruitful and multiply." Therefore the sin of incest is not an issue here as some may suggest. How closely related do they think Adam and Eve were based on Genesis 1 and 2? The absence of discussion about other sons and daugthers of Adam and Eve and their children does not mean they did not exist at the time Cain married, only that they were not central characters in the narrative being presented. Genesis 5 3: When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4: The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5: Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
