<DIV>Sometimes a married woman finds herself in a situation where she may
need to be secluded with a man who is not her husband. My questions
are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Is there a minimum shiur, like a tefach, that a door has to
be open?</DIV>
<DIV>2. If there is traffic on the street, and
people can look in through the window to see activities in the
house (or specifically into the room being worked on), would leaving the
blinds open be enough? or does a door have to be actually open?</DIV>
<DIV>3. Are these comings and going halachas similar to kashrus
halachas involving non-Jewish cooks, where the cooks have to be constantly
in fear of a Jew entering, thus they will be careful to not do anything
against halacha? </DIV>
<DIV>4. What if someone lives in a totally secluded area, where there is
no street traffic at all, would leaving the door open be any help at
all? Or do we say that there is always a possibility of a
visitor coming, which would alleviate the problem?</DIV>
