We aren't told that, but she was a cousin for sure. Adam and Eve lived hundreds of years and had an unknown number of children who had children who had children, so Cain may have had many distant cousins to choose from.

What was the skin color of Adam and Eve?


Was there a problem with siblings procreating with siblings? Any congenital malformations?

Unknown skin color but probably dark. Siblings then would be near perfection and no problems with offspring as even Abraham married his half sister and had no problems. The issues of today are far worse than that far in the past.

So incest was biblical in those days.

Is incest still allowed among those that closely follow the bible teachings?

Their skin color is unknown. Whatever "congenital malformations" there may have been are in all of us today because we are their descendents. We are all cousins.

Incest was not forbidden until the time of Moses. Incest was inevitable from Adam and Eve's time and again from Noah's time. There were no options.
