Source in the Torah When describing the sin of Meisit (one who entices another to serve idols), the Torah says,10 “If your brother, the son of your mother, shall incite you…” The Talmud 11 questions why only the son of a mother (maternal brother) is mentioned and not the son of a father (i.e., a paternal brother) when either of them might persuade a person to sin. 2 relationship as a son with his mother.12 Some say that the Torah explicitly permits yichud with one’s daughter as the above verse says “If your brother—son of your mother—or your son or your daughter shall entice you…” Since enticing others to serve idols is usually done in private and the daughter is mentioned as being a person who may do this enticing, we can derive that one may be alone (secluded) with one’s daughter.13 Similarly a son may be alone with his mother since it is the same parent-child relationship. Yichud with Grandmothers, Great-Grandmothers, Granddaughters and Great Granddaughters A man may also be alone with his grandmother, great-grandmother, granddaughter, or great- granddaughter as naturally one has no desire for intimacy with these relatives.14 This applies whether the above women are single or married. 15 Sisters The Talmud says,16 “A man may be secluded with his sister, and live with his mother or with his daughter.” Based on this wording, Rashi explains that one may only be alone with his sister on a temporary basis, but he may not live with her in a Yichud situation on a permanent basis. Their prayer was answered in so far as the desire for incest was removed.17 Since the desire was diminished, yichud between brother and sister is no longer forbidden (on a temporary basis).18 This explains the difference between parents and siblings as there never was any (kind of intimate) attraction between parents and children so there are no restrictions on yichud between them. 20 Amnon and Tamar According to the Talmud,21 the prohibition of yichud with an unmarried woman who is not a Niddah was promulgated by King David as a reaction to the unfortunate event in which his oldest son Amnon violated his half-sister Tamar after Amnon arranged for them to be alone together.22
