[Nedarim 89a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/89a:1)

נָדְרָה וְהִיא בִּרְשׁוּת הַבַּעַל — מֵפֵר לָהּ. כֵּיצַד? אָמְרָה ״הֲרֵינִי נְזִירָה לְאַחַר שְׁלֹשִׁים״, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁנִּתְאַלְמְנָה אוֹ נִתְגָּרְשָׁה בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים — הֲרֵי זֶה מוּפָר. נָדְרָה בּוֹ בַּיּוֹם וְנִתְגָּרְשָׁה בּוֹ בַּיּוֹם, הֶחְזִירָה בּוֹ בְּיוֹם — אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהָפֵר. זֶה הַכְּלָל: כׇּל שֶׁיָּצְאָה לִרְשׁוּת עַצְמָהּ שָׁעָה אַחַת — אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהָפֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **she took a vow while she was under the jurisdiction of** her **husband, he can nullify** the vow **for her. How so?** If **she said** when she was still married: **I am hereby a nazirite for after thirty** days, and her husband nullified the vow, then **even if she was widowed or divorced within** the **thirty-**day period, the vow **is nullified.** If **she took a vow on that,** i.e., one, **day and was divorced on that** same **day,** then even if her husband **took her back** as his wife **on that** same **day, he cannot nullify** her previous vows. **This is the principle: Once she has left** and gone **into her own jurisdiction** for even **a single hour,** then after they are remarried her husband **can no** longer **nullify** any vow she uttered during their first marriage.

[Nedarim 89a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/89a:2)

**גְּמָ׳** תַּנְיָא: אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה ״הֲרֵינִי נְזִירָה לִכְשֶׁאִנָּשֵׂא״ וְנִשֵּׂאת, רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר: יָפֵר, וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: לֹא יָפֵר. וְסִימָנָא: יְלֵלִי. אֵשֶׁת אִישׁ שֶׁאָמְרָה ״הֲרֵינִי נְזִירָה לִכְשֶׁאֶתְגָּרֵשׁ״ וְנִתְגָּרְשָׁה, רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר: לֹא יָפֵר, וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: יָפֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **It is taught** in a *baraita*: With regard to **a widow or a divorcée who said: I am hereby a nazirite for when I will get married, and she was married, Rabbi Yishmael says** her husband **can nullify** her vow, **whereas Rabbi Akiva says he cannot nullify** it. **And the mnemonic** device for the opinions of Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva with regard to this *halakha* and the following one is the Hebrew acronym ***yod*, *lamed*, *lamed*, *yod*:** *Yafer*, *lo yafer*; *lo yafer*, *yafer*, i.e., he can nullify, he cannot nullify; he cannot nullify, he can nullify. As for **a married woman who said** while she was married: **I am hereby a nazirite for when I will get divorced, and she was divorced, Rabbi Yishmael says** her husband **cannot nullify** her vow, **whereas Rabbi Akiva says** he **can nullify** it.

[Nedarim 89a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/89a:3)

אָמַר רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל: הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר ״וְנֵדֶר אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה וְגוֹ׳״, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא נֶדֶר בִּשְׁעַת אַלְמָנוּת וְגֵרוּשִׁין. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא סָבַר: הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר ״כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל נַפְשָׁהּ״, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא אִיסּוּרֵי נֶדֶר בִּשְׁעַת אַלְמָנוּת וְגֵרוּשִׁין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yishmael said: It says: “But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced**…shall be upheld against her” (Numbers 30:10), which means that the practical application of **the vow must be in the time of the** woman’s **widowhood or divorce.** Only when the vow is to take effect when she is a widow or a divorcée shall it be upheld against her, since then it is impossible to nullify. **Rabbi Akiva,** by contrast, **maintains: It says:** “But every vow…**with which she has bound her soul,** shall be upheld against her,” which means **that the binding of the vow,** i.e., the taking of the vow creating the prohibition, **must be at the time of** the woman’s **widowhood or divorce.**


###### Nedarim 89a:4
[Nedarim 89a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/89a:4)

אָמַר רַב חִסְדָּא: מַתְנִיתִין — רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא הִיא. אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ תֵּימָא רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל, מַתְנִיתִין תָּלְיָא נַפְשַׁהּ בְּיוֹמֵי, בָּרַיְיתָא תָּלְיָא נַפְשַׁהּ בְּנִישּׂוּאִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ḥisda said: The mishna** that links the possibility of nullification to the time of the taking of the vow **is** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva. Abaye said: Even** if **you say** that the mishna follows the opinion of **Rabbi Yishmael,** there is no difficulty, for **the mishna** is referring to a woman **who made her** vow **dependent on days,** i.e., she specified that the vow should take effect after a fixed period of time. By contrast, the ***baraita*** is referring to a woman **who made her** vow **dependent on marriage.**


###### Nedarim 89a:5
[Nedarim 89a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/89a:5)

שָׁלְמוּ יוֹמֵי וְלָא נִתְגָּרְשָׁה, שָׁלְמוּ יוֹמֵי וְלָא מִיתְנַסְבָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In the case of the *baraita*, since the woman explicitly connected the application of her vow to her marital status, the possibility of nullifying the vow depends on the time that the vow takes effect. But in the case of the mishna, where the application of the vow is tied to a particular date, it is possible that **the days will be completed and she was not divorced,** or that **the days will be completed and she was not married.** Since there is no inherent connection between her marriage and the vow, Rabbi Yishmael agrees that the possibility of nullification depends on the time when the vow was pronounced.

״זֶה הַכְּלָל״ דְּקָתָנֵי גַּבֵּי ״נַעֲרָה הַמְאוֹרָסָה״ — לְאֵיתוֹיֵי הָלַךְ הָאָב עִם שְׁלוּחֵי הַבַּעַל אוֹ שֶׁהָלְכוּ שְׁלוּחֵי הָאָב עִם שְׁלוּחֵי הַבַּעַל, בְּנַעֲרָה הַמְאוֹרָסָה, דְּאָבִיהָ וּבַעְלָהּ מְפִירִין נְדָרֶיהָ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna in the previous chapter (71a) teaches that as long as a betrothed young woman has not gone out into her own jurisdiction for a single moment, her father and her husband can nullify her vows. The mishna in this chapter teaches the principle in the reverse: If she has gone out for even a single hour, her husband cannot nullify her vows. The Gemara addresses this repetition. The mishna of: **This is the principle, which is taught in** the chapter called: **A betrothed young woman,** serves **to include** a case where **the father went with the messengers of the husband** after handing over his daughter in marriage **and** a case **where the messengers** of the **father went with the messengers of the husband. In** the case of **a betrothed young woman,** since the father or his messengers were still with her, she has not yet left her father’s jurisdiction, and nevertheless the mishna teaches **that her father and her husband can nullify her vows.**

״זֶה הַכְּלָל״ דְּקָתָנֵי גַּבֵּי ״וְאֵלּוּ נְדָרִים״, לְאֵיתוֹיֵי מָסַר הָאָב לִשְׁלוּחֵי הַבַּעַל אוֹ שֶׁמָּסְרוּ שְׁלוּחֵי הָאָב לִשְׁלוּחֵי הַבַּעַל, שֶׁאֵין הַבַּעַל מֵיפֵר בַּקּוֹדְמִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna of: **This is the principle, which is taught in** this chapter, called: **And these are the vows,** serves **to include** a case where **the father handed over** his daughter **to the messengers of the husband, or** a case **where the messengers of the father handed** her **over to the messengers of the husband.** Although neither the father nor his messengers accompanied her, and therefore she has been fully handed over to her husband, nevertheless, the mishna teaches **that the husband cannot nullify previous** vows, i.e., vows that preceded their marriage.

**מַתְנִי׳** תֵּשַׁע נְעָרוֹת נִדְרֵיהֶן קַיָּימִין: בּוֹגֶרֶת וְהִיא יְתוֹמָה. נַעֲרָה וּבָגְרָה וְהִיא יְתוֹמָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** There are **nine young women whose vows are upheld** and cannot be nullified: If she took a vow when she was **a grown woman and she is an orphan;** if she took a vow when she was **a young woman, and has reached her majority, and she is an orphan;**
