וששאלתםעל זכר ונקיבה שזיווגו יחד אם יכולין לדור יחד בבית אחד יש לחוש שמא יתייחדו (מס' כלה.) וכלה בלא ברכה אסורה לבעלה כמו נדה:

Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947

Q. Are a bride and a bridegroom permitted to live in the same house after betrothal? A. They are not permitted to live in the same house because there may be occasions when no chaperons are about, and a person is not permitted to cohabit with his betrothed before they are actually married. Moreover, there is danger lest familiarity may breed contempt. SOURCES: L. 141; Tashbetz, 450; Mordecai Hagadol. p. 145c; Orhot Hayyim II, p. 60; Kol Bo 75.
