Numbers 30:11
9 Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.
10 If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,
and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
12 But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.
13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
