Note on the Concern of Yichud
Question
If a person comes to a meeting with a religious woman and she locks the door, should he point out to her not to lock it, or if she locks it, is it likely that her husband is in town, or is there someone who has a key and can enter?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is necessary to ensure that she has a permit, as sometimes the locking is done out of lack of awareness of the prohibition, and not because there is a reason for a permit.
