If a woman waits for a Yabam, whether for one or for two, R. Eliezer ruled: He [the Yabam] can annul [Her vows]. R. Joshua said: [only if she waits] for one, but not for two. R. Akiba said; neither for one nor for two. R. Eliezer argued: if a man can annul the vows of a woman whom he acquired himself, how much the more can he annul those of a woman given to him by God! Said R. Akiba to him; it is not so; if you speak of a woman whom he acquires himself, that is because others have no rights in her; will you say [the same] of a woman granted to him by God, in whom others too have rights! R. Joshua said to him: Akiba, your words apply to two yebamim; but what will you answer if there is only one Yabam? He replied, the Yebamah is not as completely united to the Yabam as an arusah is to her [betrothed] husband. |

Eliezer: if he can annul vows which have already had the force of a prohibition, surely he can annul those which have not had the force of prohibition! They said to him: behold, it is said, Her husband may establish it, and her husband may annul it: that which has entered the category of confirmation, has entered the category of annulment; but that which has not entered the category of confirmation, has not entered the category of annulment |
