    It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a woman who is Muslim, Christian or Jewish - so, yes, it would be allowed to marry her. It would be important, though, to ensure that the two of you have discussed possible issues which may arise - for example, as a Muslim man, you would be expected to raise any children as Muslim, which she may not be keen about (my understanding is that Judaism requires practising women to raise their children to be Jewish, and it wouldn't be possible for the children to be both). Inter-faith marriages can work, but it's important to enter into them with awareness of possible areas of conflict, and the ability to discuss these between yourselves.

    Remember that pre-marital relationships are not permitted in Islam, so ensure you are observing appropriate limits with this woman, and repent for any transgressions that have occurred.

    I am a Muslim and I have a Questions.
    1. I want to marry a Jewish girl while they remain on their religion and I remain on my religion, then it is permissible and can we produce children under the same relationship.
