# It is forbidden for a man and woman to seclude them themselves together even if there's a camera or webcam that makes everything in the room visible to onlookers in another location. <ref> Kuntres Internet BeHalacha (p. 33) discusses whether having a webcam is similar to having a door open to the public domain and in the conclusion quotes Rav Elyashiv saying that it is not a valid leniency. </ref> | # It is forbidden for a man and woman to seclude them themselves together even if there's a camera or webcam that makes everything in the room visible to onlookers in another location. <ref> Kuntres Internet BeHalacha (p. 33) discusses whether having a webcam is similar to having a door open to the public domain and in the conclusion quotes Rav Elyashiv saying that it is not a valid leniency. </ref> | ||

# Many poskim hold that it is forbidden to seclude oneself with a woman which one is comfortable around in an area open to the public. <Ref>The Chelkat Mechokek 22:13 writes that a person who is comfortable around a certain woman is forbidden to seclude himself with her in an area open to the public. The Taz 22:9, however, disagrees and permits. Kitzur S"A 152:5 rules like the Chelkat Mechokek. Nitai Gavriel (Yichud 32:7) writes that in cases of need such as with a doctor one may be lenient unless the person is comfortable around the woman in an inappropriate sense. </ref> | # Many poskim hold that it is forbidden to seclude oneself with a woman which one is comfortable around in an area open to the public. <Ref>The Chelkat Mechokek 22:13 writes that a person who is comfortable around a certain woman is forbidden to seclude himself with her in an area open to the public.

# According to Sephardim, a man and woman may not drive together in a car on a road that's not heavily traveled especially at night. However, if there's three men and three women on the bus it's permissible. However, if some of the men and women leave and one woman is alone on the bus with male driver the woman must get off the bus unless there is a danger to get off. However, if there's a car on that road every 3 minutes it's permissible. <ref>Yalkut Yosef Hilchot Ishut EH Siman 22:9</ref> | # According to Sephardim, a man and woman may not drive together in a car on a road that's not heavily traveled especially at night.
