It is necessary for a woman to travel accompanied by a Mahram. If the Mahram is a child and is below the age of 12 then the Ulamaa have unanimously agreed that it is not permissible to travel with him. However, if he is 12 or above but he looks older than his age and he also looks physically and mentally, intellectually mature then there will be no harm in using him as a Mahram.
