I googled for sources, and lo and behold it was Chabad https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/960660/jewish/Issurei-Biah-Chapter-Twelve.htm

I expected this to be Talmud, not Torah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mishneh_Torah

Maimonides intended to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law, so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed, with a strong and immediate opposition which focused on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud.

So I guess it's a wannabe Torah. It's very disturbing all the same.*

Thanks for the info. Exactly what I had hoped to see in the comments.

The Talmud holds that a marriage between a Jew and a non Jew is both prohibited and also does not constitute a marriage under Jewish law. Furthermore, a Jewish man has no recognized paternal or parental relation to any offspring resulting from a relationship with a gentile woman.

And I recall that there are no penalties for Jews or gentiles who are dating, even if the Jewish community and Jews in popular culture (even popular movies) commonly refer to non-Jewish women as Shiksas, defined in the Torah as: "the flesh of an animal deemed taboo." It's like comparing these women with pigs.
