Ethics of Oaths

He who took an oath, but he found something else better than that, should do that which is better and break his oath.

"There is nothing on Earth that I swear an oath upon, and I see that something else is better, but I do that which is better."

"There is no vow and no oath concerning that which one does not possess, nor to commit sin, nor to sever the ties of kinship."

"There is no vow to commit an act of disobedience and its expiation is the expiation for an oath."

"Whoever takes an oath to cut off the ties of kinship, or to do something that is not right, the fulfillment of his vow is not to do that."

"The oath is only according to the intention of the one who requests the oath to be taken."'
