A "non-observant Jew" is one who is not observant ... a Jew who doesn't organize
his life to include such aspects as Sabbath and holiday observance, occasional prayer
and learning, kosher diet, etc.
The reason may be the fact that he was not introduced to that kind of life as he
grew up, or wasn't educated or trained in Jewish life, or that he knows very well
what's involved and willfully decides to ignore it.

Does a Jew have to marry another Jew or can they marry a non-Jew... What happens if they do marry a non-Jew?
People from observant Jewish communities would be under strong pressure to marry inside their own community (the same way most Hindu families expect their children to marry a Hindu of the same community). However, nothing "happens" if a Jew marries a non-Jew. (Not sure what you're implying. Lightning doesn't strike and they don't get beheaded.) The Jewish partner does not get excommunicated and can still be Jewish. If the couple want to raise their children as Jews, then they can do so if it's the mother who is Jewish. If the mother is not Jewish, then she may have to convert, or the child may have to convert, in order to be considered a Jew and be able to worship as a Jew. However, Reform Judaism accepts children of non-Jewish mothers as Jews if the father is Jewish.
