They might perhaps be lax in this prohibition, but the Torah forbids it. In addition, there are very many cases in which the spouses use the religious difference as fuel to add to the flames once they're already fighting over other matters. Maintaining a marriage is hard enough without the interfering factor of different religious backgrounds. Also, there is the question of how to raise the children. A seemingly kumbaya-type peace-loving interfaith education very often turns out to be confusing to the children, who now have no complete identity. Statistics show that mixed-marriage children are less likely to practice any religion at all, than are their single-faith counterparts (even those of minimally-religious homes). In actual practice, intermarriage amounts to assimilation, the product of which is descendants who may no longer see themselves as part of the religious heritage of either parent.

The way that the question is written is in the passive, which raises the question of who is doing the allowing. Most Liberal Jewish congregations and Movements permit but do not encourage interfaith marriages. Orthodox Jews would not permit interfaith marriage and actively discourage it.

Is premarital sex allowed in Orthodox Judaism?
Orthodox Judaism holds that sex should be practiced only within the confines of marriage and exclusively between the relevant spouses.

However, if Liberal Jews are asked about whether or not it is actually permissible, they will default to the Orthodox standard. Atheist Jews typically see no issue with premarital sex as long as it is between two consenting adults.
