In this article, the author examines the ways in which a number of Dutch Muslim women try to obtain an Islamic divorce. The road to a divorce, often long and winding, does not always lead to a satisfactory conclusion. I explore the question of why it can be difficult for Muslim women to obtain a religious divorce. Drawing on recent empirical research into the phenomenon of ‘marital captivity’ – a situation in which someone is unable to terminate a (religious) marriage, I examine the case of a Dutch Muslim woman who, at the instigation of a civil court, managed to negotiate a khulʿ agreement with her ‘ex’-husband, who released her from the marital bond. This exceptional example of a khulʿ practice in the Netherlands attests to the versatility of this under-researched form of Islamic divorce and how it is used in a Muslim minority context in Europe.

  荷兰的 Khulʿ 离婚：荷兰穆斯林妇女寻求宗教离婚


在这篇文章中，作者研究了一些荷兰穆斯林妇女试图获得伊斯兰离婚的方式。离婚之路往往漫长而曲折，并不总能带来令人满意的结局。我探讨了为什么穆斯林妇女很难获得宗教离婚的问题。借鉴最近对“婚姻囚禁”现象的实证研究——在这种情况下，某人无法终止（宗教）婚姻，我研究了一个荷兰穆斯林妇女的案例，她在民事法庭的怂恿下设法与她的“前夫”协商 khulʿ 协议，前夫解除了她的婚姻关系。荷兰 khulʿ 实践的这个特殊例子证明了这种研究不足的伊斯兰离婚形式的多功能性以及它如何在欧洲的穆斯林少数群体中使用。
