We used to have house rules for this when I was a kid.
I think it was that you had to leave at least one space open in your home for the opponent to enter, and if you couldn't (i.e. you got trapped) you lost.
I don't know how widespread this was, or whether it came from a rule sheet. I think you will find some evidence for such rules in some Halma games and variants published in the last 20 years or so.
