How to Fulfill an Oath in Case of a Legal Impediment

Question
If a person marries a girl and swears to have intercourse with his wife on a certain night, then finds that she has menstruated or given birth on the same night, does he break his oath or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: he breaks his oath, and you owe a expiation for the oath, and God knows best.
