A man brought his wife to the country and incurred large expenses; she is now requesting khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation). Does he have the right to claim these amounts?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is a resident in this country. He says: I brought my wife to this country, and bringing her cost me a large amount in tickets and other expenses. She is now requesting khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation). Do I have the right to claim these things, such as tickets and others, in addition to the mahr (bridal gift)?

Answer:
She has income. These things have no bearing on the matters of the marriage contract. These things have no bearing; they are not included in the compensation for khul' (divorce at the wife's request for compensation).
