# The [[Geonim]] introduced strict safeguards against their generations' imprudence in taking Nedarim by declaring Nedarim and Shevuot impossible to annul, but many Rishonim dismissed their sheltering attitude as a stumbling block for those who did take Nedarim and Shevuot. If one doesn't annul their Nedarim, they'll cease to seek annulment and just violate their Nedarim intentionally. Therefore, it's better to annul the Nedarim than let them be violated, even if it was taken with Hashem's name.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 230:1</ref> Some recommend not getting involved unless it's for a Mitvah purpose, community peace, or the like, and not to annul Nedarim that have a trace of sin either.<ref>Beit Yosef and Rama Yoreh Deah 230:1</ref> Others also advise the Chacham to impose a monetary or fasting penalty on the one seeking Hatarah to discourage his taking further Nedarim.<ref>Shach Yoreh Deah 230:1</ref>
