What exactly did Cain get married to?

Update:

Scripture says he went to the land of Nod and married one of the "daughters of men". So I guess a more appropriate question is, were the sons of Yahweh homo-sapiens or would that be Cain's new family?

    Scripture doesnt comment. It would have been a sister or perhaps a niece -- or granddaughter of Adam

    The fact that Cain was scared for his own life after he killed Abel (Genesis 4:14) indicates that there were likely many other children and perhaps even grandchildren of Adam and Eve already living at that time. Cain's wife (Genesis 4:17) was a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve.

    He married a sister, or possibly a niece - a human female. Adam and Eve's family is the only human family on earth at the time. They only recently departed from perfection, so marrying a close relative was not as dangerous as now.

    Cain took a wife from the 6th day creation of men and women spoken of in Gen 1;26. Adam and Eve were created after God rested on the 7th day to be the seed line of Christ. The 6th day creation was all the races of man according to their placement on Earth. Black skin in the scorching sun of Africa, Slanted eyes for the sand storms of Asia, and so on. God looked and He was happy with His creations.

    He married his own twin sister, but lusted for the more beautiful sister of Abel. He got jealous and killed Abel for that.
