heya answer is here......

◇After God created Adam and Eve, they had sons and daughters [Gen 5:4].  In order for their children to marry and reproduce, it was necessary for brothers to marry their sisters.  People have often asked, “Where did Cain get his wife?”  The answer is simple, “He married his sister.”  There wasn’t anyone else for him to marry.

Therefore, early on in human history it was necessary for close relatives to marry.  While we don’t know much about marriage between close relatives during the first 2,000 years of human history, we can presume that close relatives continued to marry because Abram [around 2,000 BC] married his half-sister.  Terah is Sarai’s father-in-law according to Gen 11:31 and yet he is also her father according to Gen 20:12.  She and Abram had different mothers but the same father, therefore, Abram was Sarai’s half-brother.
