A Woman's Request for Divorce Before Consummation

Question
A young man proposed to a girl with a contract and a dowry, and he paid five thousand dinars, and he bought her engagement period with approximately two thousand dinars. When they marry, he will complete the value of the gold. However, after two months, the girl wanted to separate and annul the contract. What are the consequences for her and for the suitor, and does she forfeit her dowry because she wants to separate?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: She can agree with her husband on khula (divorce) in such a way that she returns to him everything he paid in exchange for him divorcing her, and God knows best.
