65:2

فَاِذَا بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَاَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ اَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَاَشْهِدُوا ذَوَیْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ وَاَقٖیمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلّٰهِؕ ذٰلِكُمْ یُوعَظُ بِهٖ مَنْ كَانَ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِؕ وَمَنْ یَتَّقِ اللّٰهَ یَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًاۙ

Faitha balaghna ajalahunna faamsikoohunna bimaAAroofin aw fariqoohunna bimaAAroofin waashhidoo thaway AAadlin minkum waaqeemoo alshshahadata lillahi thalikum yooAAathu bihi man kana yuminu biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri waman yattaqi Allaha yajAAal lahu makhrajan

Translations

And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allah. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allah and the Last day. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out

Saheeh International

Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him
