I know of a Torah follower in Yeshua who married a Buddhist. He justifies this by claiming that Torah doesn't forbid it. What do you all say about that?

If that's what he's claiming he either is in fact not a Torah follower or he is but has no idea yet about the Torah and hasn't studied very much at all. There is a whole lot of information in the Torah that states that we Israelites are not supposed to marry someone that is not an Israelite. and in fact in some cases when the Israelites backslid the lawlessness they had committed that qualify them as backsliders was the fact that they had married not Israelite women and in fact for them to repent/teshuva and come back to the most high they had to in fact put away the non-israelite wives that they had married

It seems difficult to imagine someone who believes like us having a relationship with a potential spouse that goes this far.

remember when the israelites had to put away their strange wives? Yeah...
that and we're forbidden to make contracts with gentiles or let them live nearby

I don't think it is right for a Torah follower in Yeshua to marry someone of another religion either. Samson and Solomon married foreign women and things didn't go well for them. In the NT, it talks about not being unequally yoked with non-believers. When I get married someday, I want the wife to keep Torah with me. I don't want a situation where I am going one way and she is going another way when it comes to faith.
