BRIEF INSIGHT

YERUSHALAYIM AT THE TIME OF THE CHURBAN
 
The Mishnah says that Rebbi Zecharyah ben Katzav swore that he never left his wife's side from the time the Nochrim entered Yerushalayim until they left. The Chachamim told him that he cannot testify about himself. The Korban Nesanel asks that there are certainly hiding places in Yerushalayim where his wife could have hidden while the Nochrim were in Yerushalayim, so why was she not permitted even without his testimony? The Korban Nesanel answers that a hiding place helps only when there is a Safek whether she is Tahor. At the time of the destruction of the Beis ha'Mikdash, the women definitely were Tamei, as the verse in Eichah says, "They raped the women of Zion."

QUICK HALACHAH

A DIVORCED WIFE
 
If a man divorced his wife (from Nisu'in) he may not live in the same courtyard as his ex-wife because of the concern that it will lead to Znus. A Kohen may not live in the same Mavuy as his ex-wife; a small village is the same as a Mavuy. If she is remarried, even if her former husband is not a Kohen she may not live in the same Mavuy as her former husband. (Shulchan Aruch EH 119:7)
 
Even before she remarries, he may not live in the same courtyard as she because the Chachamim decreed that even Yichud with an unmarried woman is prohibited. (Chelkas Mechokek)
