Question
Sometimes my wife makes a vow on Shabbat so that I cannot annul it. Is it really forbidden to annul a vow on Shabbat?
Answer
You should speak with your wife about how vows can lead to negative outcomes, and it is not an appropriate form of behavior. However, this should be done kindly and with much wisdom. Nevertheless, it is permitted to annul vows even on Shabbat.
