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.

在本文中，作者研究了许多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，并不总能得出令人满意的结论。我探讨了为什么穆斯林妇女很难获得宗教离婚的问题。基于对“婚姻囚禁”现象（有人无法终止（宗教）婚姻的情况）的最新实证研究，我研究了一个荷兰穆斯林妇女的案例，该妇女在民事法院的敦促下成功地与她的“前夫”丈夫商定了一项“胡卢”协议，后者将她从婚姻关系中释放了。这个khulʿ的特殊例子 荷兰的实践证明，这种研究不足的伊斯兰离婚形式具有广泛的用途，并证明了它如何在欧洲的穆斯林少数群体环境中使用。
