    Nereid, good question I will attempt to answer it by looking at the work and nature of God in Scripture concerning His creation. Adam named Eve that name because it mean the mother of all living earlier in Genesis. I don 't believe God would allow Adam to name her that if the name didn 't mean exactly that. With this understood Eve must have also been the mother of Cain 's wife therefore he married his own sister. Not to attempt to put any limitations on God for He could just made another women but that appear to be inconsistent with His order of creation. We also know that the bible record little about women and their lives it focus primary on the men and their lives and deed. Therefore, though Cain and Abel were the first men born to Adam and Eve they could have had and proable did have daughters which would be older than the men. They or she could possible have moved to the land of Nod where Cain was sent to find them or her. I believe this is more consistent with the Scripture. God bless us all and the understanding of his Word.
