daf bit: Nedarim 88
The torah teaches that a husband can annul his wife's vow and a father
can annul his unmarried daughter's vow, but only on the day they hear of it.
The mishna on today's daf teaches that every vow of a widow or a divorced
woman stands. Now, what about some timing questions?
If she vowed and her husband annulled and then he divorced
her the vow is annulled, but if he had already divorced her the vow stands.
If she vowed and he divorced her and took her back all on the same day, the
vow stands. This is the general rule: once she has gone forth as her own
mistress even for a single hour, he cannot annul. (88b-89a)
