If the marriage contract is concluded according to the conditions, then it is permissible for the spouses to sit, talk, and be in seclusion with complete freedom. And it becomes lawful for the husband what is lawful for him from his wife whom he has entered into, such as looking, kissing, being in seclusion, traveling, and intercourse.
