One should not associate (by talking or sitting) with a woman who has links with a King or ruler of some sort, either through business affairs or social affairs. Mahabharat's Virat Parva explains, 'Sensible people never keep friendship with a woman who has contact with a King. Those women who have access to a King's quarters, those who are an enemy of his and who do not support the King should never be associated with.' Raj Dharma explains, 'One should not associate with a Queen, a woman who has personal relations with a King or a female servant of a King.' The reason being that unnecessary complication can arise through such association.
