The way I read it, (with no interpretation) is Cain's wife was part of the people that the LORD made on day 6, when He said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:" in Genesis 1:26.
According to Wiki, it claims that Cain married his sister Awan (this is supposedly in the book of jubilees).
Now, some people claim that the "land of nod" means a place of wandering, and that Cain was forced to wander forever (somehow escaping the flood). But we later see that Cain founded a city and named it for his son Enoch, so, the curse of wandering obviously wasn't a very strong one.
Hope this helps

I have always wondered who Cain married, Brother V, and this explains it nicely!
I do like these daily Bible studies, starting from the beginning, this makes it all so much easier to understand, and I'm looking forward the each new day now, brother!
Praise!
