Yes, there are Jews and Muslims who marry. But it is illegal, and not recognized by the Israeli State:

Marriages performed for Jews outside of Israel that are valid in the foreign country in which they were performed receive retroactive recognition by the State of Israel. This includes civil marriages and non-Orthodox marriages. Citizens of Israel who marry in the course of a visit to a foreign country or travel abroad for this purpose will also receive such recognition. Marriages that cannot take place in Israel (such as the marriage of a Jew and a Muslim) will not be accepted retroactively.

In Israel, marriage licenses are given only through religious ceremonies, but a 1929 law makes it a crime punishable by six months in jail for a rabbi, priest or Muslim cleric to marry people of different religions.

In most cases, "mixed" couples get around the legal problem by having one person convert to the other's religion. Some couples keep separate religions and go abroad for a civil ceremony. According to international law, the Israeli government must honor marriage licenses awarded in other countries.

For comparison:

Islamic law:

A Muslim man may have up to four wives. He may marry a non-Muslim provided she is of the "people of the Book" (i.e. a Christian or Jew), but a Muslim woman may not. 216.239.57.104

-- Any children born to the wife will be considered Muslim. They will usually also be considered citizens of the father's country.

-- The husband's permission is always needed for the children to leave an Islamic country despite the fact that the children will also have, for example, American citizenship. Foreign immigration authorities can be expected to enforce these regulations. The ability of U.S. consular officers to aid an American woman who wishes to leave the country with her children is very limited.

-- The wife may be divorced by her husband at any time with little difficulty and without a court hearing.

-- At a certain point in age, the children will come under the custody of the father or his family.

-- In Islamic countries, the wife will need the permission of her husband to leave the country.

In Nazi Germany:

The Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935 deprived German Jews of their rights of citizenship, giving them the status of "subjects" in Hitler's Reich. The laws also made it forbidden for Jews to marry or have sexual relations with Aryans or to employ young Aryan women as household help. (An Aryan being a person with blond hair and blue eyes of Germanic heritage.)
