What should I do about my oath of divorce regarding my daughter not marrying a specific young man, after it became clear to me that my initial information about his origins was incorrect, and she strongly desires him?

If you swore by divorce that you would not marry your daughter to a specific person for a certain reason, and then it became clear to you that this reason no longer exists, scholars have differed regarding the occurrence of the breach of oath. Some meticulous scholars have gone to the extent of saying that divorce does not occur in this case, because you did what you swore to abandon due to the disappearance of the reason for which you swore. Based on this, nothing is binding upon you if you marry your daughter to this man. It is advisable to avoid swearing by divorce.
