Question
Shalom Uvracha, I read an archived response that you wrote regarding Yichud and a visiting sister in law. You answered that there is definitely a problem of Yichud if the husband is alone in the house with the sister in law and suggested solving it by having children be present. Would our baby(about a month old) be helpful in solving this proebelm?
Thank you.
Answer
Shalom U'verachah,
A small baby cannot solve a problem of yichud, an older child can.
