Reply To: Being in an elevator alone with a woman

Burnt Steak,

You should be taken Seriously, the fact that the elevator can be stopped at any time on any floor by anyone is in fact one of the main reasons most Poskim rule that such a case is mutar.

The exception is Rav Shmuel Wosner shlita who seems to rule stringently in cases of elevators for reason of Chatzi Shiur.

However bottom line is most Poskim rule that in todays elevators Yichud is not a problem though it should be avoided if at all possible.
