תנו רבנן הלכה אצל חכם והתירה מקודשת אצל רופא וריפא אותה אינה מקודשת מה בין חכם לרופא חכם עוקר את הנדר מעיקרו ורופא אינו מרפא אלא מכאן ולהבא

Our rabbis taught: If she went to a sage [after her betrothal] and he released her vow, her betrothal is valid. [If she went] to a physician who cured her, her betrothal is invalid. What is the difference between a sage and a physician? A sage uproots the vow from its roots, but a physician heals only from now and onward.

והתניא אצל חכם והתירה אצל רופא וריפא אותה אינה מקודשת אמר רבא לא קשיא הא רבי מאיר הא רבי אלעזר הא ר"מ דאמר אדם רוצה שתתבזה אשתו בבית דין הא ר"א דאמר אין אדם רוצה שתתבזה אשתו בב"ד

But was it not taught, [that if she went] to a sage and he released her vow or to a physician and he cured her, her betrothal is invalid? Rava said: There is no contradiction. The former represents the view of R. Meir; the latter represents that of R. Elazar. The former represents the view of R. Meir, who holds that a man does not mind his wife being disgraced in a court of law. The latter represents that of R. Elazar who holds that a man does not want his wife to be disgraced in a court of law.

רבי יהודה אומר כל נדר שידעו בו רבים לא יחזיר לא ידעו בו רבים יחזיר רבי מאיר אומר כל נדר שצריך חקירת חכם לא יחזיר ושאינו צריך חקירת חכם יחזיר

R. Judah says: In the case of a vow that was made in the presence of many people he may not remarry her, but if it was not made in the presence of many people he may remarry her. R. Meir says: In the case of a vow which requires the investigation of a sage [for it to be released] he may not remarry her, but if it does not require the investigation of a sage he may remarry her

(רבי אלעזר אומר אחד צריך ואחד אינו צריך לא יחזיר) אמר רבי אלעזר לא אסרו צריך אלא מפני שאינו צריך מאי טעמא דרבי יהודה דכתיב

R. Elazar said: They only prohibited [remarriage after a vow which] requires [the investigation of a sage] on account [of a vow] which does not require [investigation]. (What is R. Judah's reason? Because it is written,
