It would be unethical in the extreme to swear an oath and then seek to evade the consequences of that oath. Oaths sworn to God usually provide others with the evidence that they need, that you will tell the truth, behave honourably or perform an agreed task of great moment. To seek secretly to void that oath is to seek to act dishonestly, something which most Christians would not believe that God could be a party to. Ethically you could only ask God to free you from an oath after all others who relied, directly or indirectly on that oath, have been informed of your intentions and have given their approval. Often to do otherwise risks serious legal consequences. Of course, 'oaths' given under genuine duress, or which would commit you to assist in criminal activities, are not legally binding and are not really oaths at all.
On the other hand, vows can be broken in certain circumstances, when circumstances change making the vow no longer appropriate or relevant. In most Western countries, you can be freed from a vow of marriage for a wide range of reasons, by order of a court.

When do you start using Bible in court?
If you are a Christian or a Jew, you may be asked to swear an oath on the Bible before giving evidence, saying that the evidence you give will be wholly truthful. Usually, if there is a court recess during your evidence, you would not be asked to swear a new oath on the Bible, but you may be informed that the oath you have already given continues to apply. If you are not a Christian you do not need to use the Bible, but may ask to give an affirmation instead of a religious oath. Muslims may swear by the Koran in some jurisdictions.

What does zounds mean from shakespeare?
The origin is "By God's wounds" meaning Christ's stigmata (wounds from being crucified), shortened to "His wounds" and shortened still to 's wounds, shortened again to zounds. It's an exclamation; today you might say "Gadzooks" or "Jesus Christ!" or "Holy smokes." Or if you were saying it more straightforwardly, it might mean also "I swear" as in "believe me" as in "I swear on this bible" or "I swear on my mothers grave" or "I swear on God's wounds" or something similarly sacred. Now don't ask me where "Gadzooks" comes from. (Actually, it's from "God's hooks", the nails which fastened Jesus to the cross)
