If you fear a breach between a man and his wife, appoint two arbiters. (Qur'an)
The couple and their family are expected to work hard at the marriage; there has to be mediation. If inevitable, the man states 'I divorce you' 3 times before witnesses. Three months need to pass to ensure the wife is not pregnant, then the husband has to pay the second part of the dowry.
