What is the ruling on the oaths of the husband, the maternal uncle, and the father, after the husband swore to his wife that she would not leave the house (with the intention of not going to her father's house), and the maternal uncle swore that she would not go out with her father, and the father swore that she would go with him, then they reconciled and the father reached halfway?

The husband's oath was not broken because the wife did not go to her family's house. As for the uncle's oath, it was broken by her going out with her father, unless he (the uncle) intended her to go out with him (the father) to his (the father's) house. And the father's oath was broken because she did not go with him to the house, unless he (the father) intended her to go with him only, without specifying a place, in which case the oath is not broken. And whoever breaks his oath must offer expiation for an oath.
