No, but as it was a vow made by Jephthah (sacrifice the first one to come out of the house to greet him after winning some battle), then it would've been against God's law to break it.
But that's a tale of people vowing for something in case a particular event happens in their favor... Not much divine intervention is actually required.
If there was any divine intervention, then it seems god was more interested in the outcome of war than on being "love", back then...
