Question
If one performed the annulment of vows on the eve of Rosh Hashanah and did not specify that it was also for his wife, does it apply to her even if not specified, and if not, does it need to be done again?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It does not apply to her if it was not specified.
The husband cannot annul vows for his wife without her agency.
If she wants him to annul for her, he can find 3 people who are already sitting together and annul before them on her behalf. However, he is not allowed to gather 3 people for this purpose.
The common custom is that the woman does not annul vows unless it is known that she has specific vows.
