Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
You have the right to refuse her request for divorce, or you can ask her to waive the dowry in exchange for her obtaining the divorce, or request something else as a condition for your agreement to the divorce.
This is, of course, in normal circumstances and without any other details; otherwise, if her request for divorce is due to your mistreatment of her or other issues, it is necessary to mention those details so we can provide a proper response.
May you be successful in all good.
