Question
A woman wrote that she would attend the wedding of an older girl. Is this considered a vow?
Answer
If she said it, it is considered a vow. However, if she made a declaration on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the vow does not take effect because the declaration is as if she said it without a vow. Nonetheless, even if she did not make a declaration, leniency can be applied in such a case where she only wrote it. However, if she said it, she needs a release from vows.
