The Jewish woman and Arab boy are both residents of the southern city of Eilat.
Police say that the boy's parents were aware of his relationship with the woman but voiced no objections to it.
The boy was not questioned due to his young age but the woman was arrested.
The Eilat Magistrate's Court extended her remand until Wednesday. She is scheduled to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
