Jewish Women Permitted to Carnalise Gentiles in the Middle Ages
from the book Eros and the Jews by David Biale,
Meir of Rothenburg writes:
I have known of a woman who was reported to have received permission to enter upon marital relations with a Gentile.I have also heard in France that some women were permitted to have marital relations with Gentiles…I, for my part, can find no justification for granting permission to a woman who wants to live with a Gentile merely in order to gratify her carnal desires.
(the end-note: it's from Mordechai Hagodol cited in Agus, Meir of Rothenburg)
