“For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.”

Canaanite spouses will turn Israel toward idolatry. The consequence is swift destruction. The danger is real: mixed marriages threaten covenantal identity.
