What does obligation?

An obligation is something you are bound by duty to do. It could be a legal obligation arising from a contract, in which a person has promised to do a certain thing as a part of the contract. It could be a moral or ethical obligation which could arise as a result of a promise which is not legally binding, or from a relationship. E.g. "You said you'd visit the sick and elderly after church and you have an obligation to follow through." "I feel that, as a friend, I have an obligation to attend her funeral." "It's your obligation to take care of your brother's widow and children."

If a promise clearly makes a moral obligation than does the law make it a legal obligation?

Not necessarily. Morals are, by definition, more subjective than the law. You may have a moral obligation to do something for which there is no legal punishment available at all. Maybe you have a moral obligation to give your children presents as your money may permit, but there is no legal obligation to give them more than the necessaries, even if you are filthy rich. In other cases you may have a moral obligation that merely creates a separate and distinct legal obligation. For example, you may have a moral obligation to perform services on a contract, but you cannot be physically forced to actually perform. The only "legal obligation" would be to pay for damages caused by your failure to perform, if any. Therefore, even if there is a legal obligation stemming from such a moral obligation ("you gave your word"), they are not the same obligation.
