The absolute branching fraction for the decay $D^+ \to {\bar K}^0\mu^+\nu_\mu$ is determined using $5321 \pm 149 \pm160$ singly tagged $D^-$ sample from the data collected around 3.773 GeV with the BESII detector at the BEPC collider. In the system recoiling against the singly tagged $D^-$ mesons, $28.7 \pm 6.4$ events for $D^+ \to {\bar K}^0\mu^+\nu_\mu$ are observed. These yield the absolute branching fraction to be $BF(D^+ \to {\bar K}^0\mu^+\nu_\mu) = (10.3\pm2.3\pm0.8)%$. The ratio of the two partial widths for the decays $D^0 \to K^-\mu^+\nu_\mu$ and $D^+ \to {\bar K}^0\mu^+\nu_\mu$ is determined to be $\Gamma (D^0 \to K^-\mu^+\nu_\mu)/\Gamma (D^+ \to {\bar K}^0\mu^+\nu_\mu) = 0.87 \pm 0.24 \pm 0.15$.
