A woman is permitted to travel if one of her sons has reached the age of puberty and is an adult, because he is considered a (unmarriageable kin) for her. However, if her sons are young, none of them is considered a mahram. It is permissible to transport women for the distance mentioned, provided that no (private seclusion) occurs between the driver and any of the women.
