RTK:

<<There is no issue of hataras nedarim nor do we have matrilineal 
minhagim -- not patrilineal minhagim either, for that matter, in the 
case of a married woman.>>

Isn't this a circular argument? Something becomes an implicit neder if 
you intend to do it forever; it's not a neder if you intend to change it 
when you marry (YD 214:1).

OTOH it certainly is possible for a woman who has made nedarim to marry, 
and the nedarim don't disappear by the act of marriage (EH 39:1-2).
