A bogeres who had waited twelve months —- or a widow, thirty days —- R' Eliezer says: Since her husband is responsible for her sustenance, he can revoke [her nedarim]; the Sages, however, say: A husband cannot revoke [her nedarim] until she has entered his authority.

A woman awaiting a yavam —- whether one yavam or two yevamin —- R' Eliezer says: He may revoke [her nedarim]. R' Yehoshua says: [When she awaits] one, but not two. R' Akiva say: Neither [when she awaits] one, nor two. Said R' Eliezer: If he can revoke the nedarim of a wife whom he acquired on his own, surely he can revoke the nedarim of a wife acquired for him by Heaven! Said R' Akiva to him: No; if you said this for a woman he acquired on his own, [it is because] others have no rights to her; shall you say this for a woman acquired for him by Heaven, to whom others do have rights? Said R' Yehoshua to him: Akiva, your words [apply] when there are two yevamin; what do you answer when there is one yavam? He said to him: The yevamah is not as complete [a wife] to the yavam, as a betrothed woman is a complete [wife] to her husband.

One who says to his wife: “All the nedarim which you shall make, from now until I return from such and such a place are confirmed,” he said nothing. [But if he says:] “they shall be revoked” —- R' Eliezer says: [They are] revoked. The Sages, however, say: [They are] not revoked. Said R' Eliezer: If he can revoke nedarim which are already binding, should he not be able to revoke nedarim which are not yet binding? They said to him: It says (Numbers 30:14): Her husband can confirm it, and her husband can revoke it —- that which can be confirmed can be revoked; that which cannot be confirmed cannot be revoked.

Revocation of nedarim [is valid] the entire day. This fact can be lenient or stringent. How? If she made a neder on the night of Sabbath, he can revoke it during the night of the Sabbath, or on the Sabbath day before nightfall. If she vowed just before dark, he must revoke it before nightfall, for if it became dark, and he had not revoked it, he can no longer revoke [it].

1. These are nedarim that he can revoke —- those that involve self-denial: “If I bathe,” or “If I do not bathe”; “If I adorn myself,” or “If I do not adorn myself.” R' Yose said: These are not nedarim of self-denial.

These are nedarim of self-denial: [If] she said: “Konam, the fruits of the world to me,” he may revoke it; “[Konam] the fruits of [this] country” —- he can bring her [fruit] from another country. “[Konam] the fruits of this storekeeper to me” —- he cannot revoke it; but, if he was his only source for provisions, he can revoke it. [These are] the words of R' Yose.

[If one's wife said:] “Konam, what I benefit from people,” he cannot revoke it, and she can benefit from the gleanings, the forgotten sheaf, and the corner of the field.  [If one said:] “Konam, Kohanim or Leviim benefiting from me” —- they may take [it] against his will. “[Konam], these Kohanim or these Leviim benefiting from me” —- others may take [it].

[If one's wife said:] “Konam, my handiwork to Father” or “to your father” or “to my brother” or “to your brother,” he is unable to revoke it; [“Konam,] my work to you” —- he need not revoke it. R' Akiva says: He should revoke it lest she produce more than his due. R' Yochanan ben Nuri says: He should revoke it lest he divorce her, and she will then be forbidden to him.

[If] his wife vowed, and he thought it was his daughter who had vowed; [or if] his daughter vowed and he thought it was his wife who had vowed; [or if] she vowed [to become] a Nazirite, and he thought that she had vowed concerning an offering; [or if] she vowed concerning an offering, and he thought that she had vowed [to become] a Nazirite; [or if] she made a neder prohibiting figs, and he thought that she had made a neder prohibiting grapes; [or if] she made a neder prohibiting grapes; and he thought that she had made a neder prohibiting figs —- he must revoke the neder again.

[If] she said: “Konam, these figs and grapes, with respect to my tasting [them],” [and] he confirmed [the neder with regard] to figs, it becomes confirmed in its entirety; if he revoked the neder with regard to figs, it is not revoked until he revokes it with regard to grapes as well. [If] she said: “Konam, figs with respect to my tasting [them], and grapes with respect to my tasting [them],” these are two nedarim.

[If a man said:] “I know that there are nedarim, but I did not know that they could be revoked,” he can revoke [the neder]. [But if he said:] “I know that nedarim could be revoked, but I did not know that this was a neder” —- R' Meir says: He cannot revoke [it]; the Sages, however, say: He can revoke [it].

One who is prohibited by a neder to benefit from his father-in-law, and he wants to give money to his daughter —- he says to her: “This money is given to you as a gift, provided that your husband has no rights in it, but that you put it in your mouth.”

But the neder of a widow or of a divorcee . . . shall stand against her (Numbers 30:10). How? [If] she said: “I will be a Nazirite after thirty days” —- even if she marries within the thirty days, he cannot revoke it.  [If] she vowed while under her husband's authority, he may revoke it. How? If she said: “I will be a Nazirite after thirty [days]” —- even if she is widowed or divorced within the thirty [days], it is revoked. [If] she vowed on the same day, [and] was divorced on the same day, [and] he took her back on the same day, he cannot revoke it. This is the general rule: If any woman had entered into her own authority for even one hour, he cannot revoke her neder.

There are nine naaros whose nedarim stand: [1] a bogeres who is an “orphan”; [2] a naarah who became a bogeres, and is an “orphan”; [3] a naarah who has not become a bogeres, and is an “orphan”; [4] a bogeres, whose father died; [5] a naarah [who became] a bogeres, and her father died; [6] a naarah who has not yet become a bogeres, and her father died; [7] a naarah whose father died, and after her father's death, she became a bogeres; [8] a bogeres whose father is living; [9] a naarah who became a bogeres and whose father is living. R' Yehudah says: Also, if one married off his minor daughter, and she became widowed or divorced, and returned to him, she is still a naarah.

[If a woman said:] “Konam, my benefit regarding Father or your father if I work for your benefit”; [or “Konam] my benefit to you if I work for the benefit of Father or your father” —- this he can revoke.

At first they used to say: There are three women who must be divorced, yet they take their kesubah: One who says: `'I am unclean to you”; [or] `'Heaven is between me and you,” [or] `'I am removed from all Jews.” They later retracted this, so that a wife should not set her eyes upon another [man] and behave immorally toward her husband. Rather, one who says: “I am unclean to you” must prove it; “Heaven is between me and you” —- they should plead with her; “I am removed from all Jews” —- he should revoke his share, so that she can continue in marital relations with him, but she is removed from [other] Jews.
