Question:
A woman vowed to name her son a specific name, and the husband refused. Does she have to fulfill the vow, or should she obey her husband’s wish? And what is required of her if she obeys him and does not fulfill the vow?
Answer:
This is like what we mentioned recently. This is a permissible vow; a vow to name is a permissible vow. She has the choice between fulfilling it and paying the expiation for an oath. As long as her husband prevented her from doing so, she pays the expiation for an oath, and nothing is required of her other than the expiation. Yes.
