Should a half Jewish man be discouraged from marrying a Jewess?
Is there any source in encouraging a man who identifies as Jewish but isn't so Halachically to marry a Jewish woman and raise a Jewish family?
For instance, a patrilineal Jew although he isn't Jewish, if he is a cultural Jew and wishes to continue his Jewish family's legacy should he still be disuaded from marrying a non-religious Jewish woman? Is there a religious duty or source to have Jewish children?

The man isn't Jewish in this case, so he has no obligation whatsoever in marrying a Jewish woman. The Jewish woman shouldn't marry this man because he is not a Jew. If the man truly feels a connection with Judaism he should convert.

Regardless of how he considers himself, he is not Jewish. Subsequently, it is not just not encouraged, but forbidden for him to marry a Jewess.
