Question
Hello, when performing the annulment of vows, is it permissible for the annulment to be done by relatives?
Answer
Hello,
It is permissible, whether the ones annulling the vows are relatives to each other or relatives of the one who made the vow.
However, a husband cannot join in annulling his wife's vows [but he can be her agent to annul her vows], yet it seems that the husband can join three to annul a customary mitzvah vow of his wife that is not a complete vow.
