What does the  Qur\u2019an and religious literature have to say on this issue? Did the  children marry one another then? Is this not weird?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The  basic sources of divine origin don\u2019t provide any information about the  matter. The Holy Qur\u2019an, reliable sayings of the Prophet (sws) and the  Bible do not give any detail in this matter. <\/p>\n<div>Obviously,  the only possibility in this regard is the one you have pointed out.  The progeny of Adam and Eve the first pair of human beings must have  married one another.<\/div>\n<div>As  far as the legitimacy of marriage between siblings is concerned, it  needs to be appreciated that the basic reason for prohibiting marriage  with blood relations is to sanctify and protect the institution of  family. Before the development and establishment of this institution the  restriction of course could not have been enforced. It was only after  this institution developed that the restriction of marriage between  siblings seems to have been enforced. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-10<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5954\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please  can you tell me how world population grew when Adam and Eve were a  single couple and their children brothers and sisters.
