"Although the three-year-old girl does not undergo any ritual introduction to her future role as a Jewish female, she is considered to be sexually a female from this age. Thus the laws restricting men and women from being alone together in the privacy of a locked room or house, yichud, apply to a girl of three. They only apply to a boy from the age of 9, the rationale being that from these ages the female and the male are sufficiently sexually mature to be the objects of sexual desire. In the language of the halakhah they are fit for sexual intercourse."
