Context of Numbers 30:6
4And her father shall hear her vow, and her bond by which she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she hath bound her soul shall stand. 5But if her father shall overrule her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds by which she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father overruled her. And if she had an husband, when she vowed, or uttered any thing from her lips, by which she bound her soul; 7And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it : then her vows shall stand, and her bonds by which she bound her soul shall stand. 8But if her husband overruled her on the day that he heard it ; then he shall make of no effect her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, by which she bound her soul: and the LORD shall forgive her.

If he disallows it, her obligation to her husband takes place of it; for to him she ought to be in subjection, as unto the Lord. The Divine law consults the good order…Read the comment
