[If one vows,] `Konam if I marry that ugly woman, whereas she is beautiful; that black [-skinned] woman, whereas she is fair; `that short woman, who in fact is tall, he is permitted to marry her, not because she was ugly, and became beautiful, or black and turned fair, short and grew tall, but because the vow was made in error. And thus it happened with one who vowed not to benefit from his sister`s daughter, and she was taken into R. Ishmael`s house and made beautiful. My son, exclaimed R. Ishmael to him, `did you vow not to benefit from this one!` `no,` He replied, where upon R. Ishmael permitted her [to him]. In that hour R. Ishmael wept and said, `the daugh ters of Israel are beautiful, but poverty disfigures them.` and when R. Ishmael died, the daughters of Israel raised a lament, saying, Ye daughters of Israel weep for R. Ishmael. And thus it is said too of Saul, Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul. |

In the case of a betrothed maiden, her father and her betrothed husband annul her vows. If her father annulled [Her vow] but not the husband, or if the husband annulled [it] but not the father, it is not annulled; and it goes without saying if one of them confirmed [it]. |
