what I remember:
A vow that a woman takes before God can be nullified by her husband or father (whichever one she lives with). The man, however, must nullify it on the day he learns of it. If he lets it stand, then later changes his mind, he bears her guilt.
key verse:
Every vow and every binding oath to humble herself, her husband may confirm it or her husband may annul it.
about God:
This seems to me to take special note of women's impulsiveness - God gives her a way out when she's acted impulsively. I'm not going to get in to whether this is un-feminist. God put it here.
