Is it illegal for Jews and non-Jews to marry?

In: Marriage, Judaism, Tanakh and Talmud [Edit categories]

Answer:

Everyone has a personal preference and is entitled to conduct their life in the best way they see fit. No one can make decisions about another's life. In Jewish culture, assimilation is not perceived as preferable, but is generally tolerated. Ostracism is rare and depends on the level of Orthodoxy of the community.
