What are the Jewish laws on interracial marriages?

0

I’m quite sure there is no problem with “interracial” marriages, because your race doesn’t have much to do with whether or not you’re Jewish. Jewishness comes from a mixture of religious, ethnic, cultural, and historical heritage. There might be some problems with marrying non-Jews, however, depending how strictly you interpret halakha. Orthodox Judaism generally doesn’t accept intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews (unless the non-Jewish partner converts, I think). More liberal factions accept intermarriage, as long as the household and especially the children are Jewish. Really, it depends who you ask to interpret the law for you.
