Question:
This questioner says: A man swore to his son that he would marry so-and-so's daughter if they agreed, but they did not agree, and the son married someone else. What is the father's obligation regarding his oath?
Answer:
He owes nothing, provided the marriage to the woman he swore to marry is completed. He does not have control over this, so his oath does not take effect on something he does not control. Yes.
