‘Who did Cain marry if there were no women on Earth, except Eve?’ – According to Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri recently posted on media, raising a query that has many perplexed and even prompted some to doubt the Bible’s veracity. In the event that Eve was the only woman on Earth, then who did Cain marry?

This question stems from the story of Cain and Abel, wherein Cain kills his brother out of jealousy. After committing this heinous act, Cain is banished and later settles in the land of Nod. There, he builds a life and even finds a wife. But how is this possible if Adam and Eve were the only humans on Earth at that time, and they were said to have only had sons?

Omokri highlights this point as an attempt to discredit the inerrancy of Scripture. Critics argue that the existence of Cain’s wife suggests the presence of other people on Earth, contradicting what the Bible says. They use this as evidence to claim that Scripture is either inaccurate or unreliable.
