Q. A swore by the Ten Commandments that he would never live with his wife again and that he would divorce her, if she would not take a ritual bath on that particular night. Can such an oath be dissolved by a scholar?
A. During the period of the Geonim the strict law was adopted that no oath could be dissolved by a scholar if such oath was taken by the pronouncing of the name of God, by the Torah, or by the Ten Commandments.
