Islam stipulates, for a woman's travel to be obligatory, that a mahram be present with her, and the presence of one or more women is not sufficient. As for within the city, it is permissible for a woman to go out with a non-mahram man if seclusion is avoided by the presence of another woman. However, if there is no one else with them, it is forbidden for her to go out with a non-mahram man, even if he is her fiancé.
