In developed nations, anybody over the legal age of consent can marry anyone (usually limited to the opposite sex) they choose, with no barriers on religious grounds in law.

There is some concern among Jewish communities about the practice of "marrying out" - when Jews marry non-Jewish partners, expecially if the male partner is Jewish as any children resulting from the marriage will then not be halakhically ("according to Jewish law") Jewish. However, Reform communities are becoming ever more liberal and any member of such a community is unlikely to experience the problems that an Orthodox Jew might if he or she were to marry a non-Jewish partner. Some even accept children as Jewish even if the mother is not.

Can a Black African marry a Christian Jew?

A Black African can marry a Christian or a Jew. It is difficult for anyone to marry a Christian Jew since there is no such person. A person is either a Christian or a Jew, not both at the same time. They are two separate religions. They have been separated for about 2000 years.Another view:Yes they can marry under certain circumstances. It is possible to be a Messianic Jew which is essentially a Jewish Christian. They would be Jewish and then ask Christ to come into their heart and life and be their personal savior. They would see Christ as the fulfillment of Judaism and not feel compelled to abandon their Jewish traditions. Anyway, the African would likely have to be of at least one of those faiths to marry.Answer:The view of normative Judaism, and most Christians, is that a person is either Christian or Jewish. One who accepts Jesus as savior is fully Christian, whether or not he/she keeps Jewish precepts.To answer the Question: A Black African may marry a Jew or a Christian. Color and geography are irrelevant. If the Black African is not Jewish, traditional Judaism states that he/she should marry within his own faith. He could convert to Judaism for marriage purposes, but this is allowed only after the fact and only if he/she actually intends to live as a Jew.If a Black African wishes to marry a Christian and is not a Christian himself, most Christians would expect him to become Christian before the marriage.
