Rav Nissan Dovid Dubov

Both should know the laws of yichud and the prohibition on touching. His basic instruction: they should either meet in a home where shomrim are present or in a public area. The door of the room at home is not locked, and as an added stringency it is left ajar. He rules out deserted parks, forests and secluded spots in the countryside, as well as late-night drives alone together, especially out of town.
