Surah An-Noor
وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ حَكِيمٌ
“And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy... and because Allah is Accepting of repentance and Wise.”
Translation: Saheeh International

Details of Al-Li`an
This Ayah offers a way out for husbands. If a husband has accused his wife but cannot come up with proof, he can swear the Li`an (the oath of condemnation) as Allah commanded. This means that he brings her before the Imam and states what he is accusing her of. The ruler then asks him to swear four times by Allah in front of four witnesses
إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّـدِقِينَ
