Numbers 30:4-9

4and her father hears her vow and her obligation under which she has put herself, and her father 1says nothing to her, then all her vows shall 2remain valid and every binding obligation under which she has put herself shall 3remain valid. 5But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid; and the Lord will 4forgive her because her father has expressed disapproval to her.

6“However, if she happens to 5marry while 6under her vows or the impulsive statement of her lips by which she has obligated herself, 7and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall remain valid and her binding obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid. 8But if on the day her husband hears of it, he expresses disapproval to her, then he will annul her vow which 7she is under and the impulsive statement of her lips by which she has obligated herself; and the Lord will 8forgive her.

9“But as for the vow of a widow or of a divorced woman, every binding obligation under which she has put herself, shall remain valid against her.
