As we see in Exodus 22, a father is required to act to refuse his daughter in marriage if she has been seduced. We have a similar scenario in Numbers 30 if she has been tricked into giving a promise. The daughter's vow stands unless the father actively annuls it. If he is passive for so much as a day after he hears of it, the vow stands. In the case of a marriage vow she would then have a husband who would be responsible for annulling vows instead.
