Numbers 30:6 In-Context

4 then, if her father has heard what she vowed or obligated herself to do and holds his peace, then all her vows remain binding - every obligation she has bound herself to will stand.
5 But if on the day her father hears it, he expresses his disapproval, then none of her vows or obligations she has bound herself to will stand; and ADONAI will forgive her, because her father expressed his disapproval.
6 "If, having made vows or rashly committed herself to an obligation, she gets married;
7 and her husband hears but holds his peace with her on the day he learns of it, then her vows and obligations she has bound herself to will stand.
8 But if her husband expresses his disapproval on the day he hears it, he will void the vow which is on her and the obligation to which she has bound herself; and ADONAI will forgive her.
