The prohibition of yichud (Hebrew: איסור ייחוד issur yichud, trans. Seclusion), in Halakha (Jewish religious law) is the impermissibility of seclusion of a man and a woman a private area. Such seclusion is prohibited when the man and woman are not married to each other in order to prevent the two from being tempted or having the opportunity to commit adulterous or promiscuous acts. The term "yichud" also refers to a ritual during a Jewish wedding in which the newly married couple spends a period of time secluded in a room by themselves.
