Abstrak	Relying upon extensive ethnographic field-collected data as well as 51 privately performed documents of khul (divorce initiated by a woman), this article addresses two questions. Firstly, how have practices of khul among local Muslim communities been influenced by Germanys secular state framework? Secondly, how do local religious actors develop extrajudicial religious forms of mediation and arbitration, often taking place in a mosque or a private place, in order to fulfil certain aspects of sharıah? The paper argues that the absence of a recognised Islamic judicial authority or formally recognised Islamic mediation and arbitration service in Germany has led Muslim communities to come up with local experts, who purport to implement elements of sharıah through informal mediation and arbitration. This leads to new religious actions and norms which might, in the future, lead to normalised new practices in countries such as Germany where Muslims are a minority
