The answer

If the wife stipulates in the marriage contract that the husband is not to travel with her or take her out of her country, then he is obligated to fulfill this condition. She has the right to refuse to travel with him, and if he does not fulfill it, she has the right to annul the marriage.

However, if she does not stipulate this, she is not permitted to refuse to travel and move with him to a safe place, even if the reason is waiting for a job or anything else. The husband has the right to travel with his wife from one country to another if the path and the destination are safe.
