I have a question on yichud. I want to leave my 16 years old foster child female with my 7 years old daughter and 13 years old bochur home for a week. How can I avoid yichud?
Peace and Blessings
It is indeed forbidden of yichud with a daughter at the age of sixteen, together with your thirteen-year-old son.
Although when a nother girl is with them together, there is no prohibition of yichud.
since a girl who is between the ages of six and nine is of such an age that she does not give herself up to a relationship, and is therefore considered a guardian for them, and preventing the prohibition of yichud when she is together with a man and a woman who are especially forbidden by themselves.
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
