Yichud before marrige
Question
Dear Rabbi,
If an unmarried man and woman have yichud together, with witnesses, do they need a get?
What about without witnesses?
If no, are there any cases at all where a get might be required?
Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom U'veracha,
While yichud is very serious and one should be very careful not to be secluded with a woman, if they were in yichud even with witnesses they do not need a get.
Only in the case where a man gave a ring and said the formula "Harei at mekudeshet li etc." are they considered married and need a get. If a man had relations with a woman after making a similar declaration and witnesses saw the relations, an almost impossible case, then they would also need a get.
