Problem

Unauthorized proximity of males to females

Other Names:
Socializing between unrelated men and women
Khalwat
Incidence:
Traditionally in many western societies, but to a far more limited degree at present, socializing between unmarried males and females could only occur under the supervision of a chaperon. Whilst decreasingly subject to any form of control, the activities of an unmarried man and woman behind closed doors continue to be viewed as extremely suspect, especially in Latin countries. Islamic law prohibits fraternizing between men and women, such as unmarried men and women walking together or holding hands.
