The matter should not be reported to the authorities or disclosed to the husband if the car's license plate number is uncertain, for fear of accusing an innocent person or causing embarrassment. Some contemporary scholars hold that a woman riding alone with a foreign driver constitutes an unlawful seclusion (khalwa muharramah). The corruption inherent in seclusion is present in this scenario because the car is moving, and people do not scrutinize every passing vehicle. Additionally, whispering, touching, and laughing can occur inside the car without public knowledge.
