What does Numbers 30:5 mean?

But if her father hears about it and says no, then her promise doesn’t count. God will not hold her to it, because her father stopped it. Numbers 30:5 - Modern Text Bible

(If her father objects right away, she’s released from her vow. The responsibility shifts to the father’s authority.)
