In this work, we investigate the possibility of interpreting the $D_{s1}(2700)$ as a $P$-wave $D{K}^{*}$ hadronic molecular state through a systematic study of its strong decay properties. Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we calculate the strong decay widths of the $D_{s1}(2700)$ into the two-body final states $DK$, $D^{*}K$, $D_s\eta$, and $D_s^{*}\eta$, as well as the three-body $D\pi K$ channel. The cutoff parameter $\Lambda$ and the coupling constant $g_{D_{s1}}$ between $D_{s1}(2700)$ and its molecular constituents are determined by fitting the $B^0\to D^{-}{D}^0{K}^{+}$ decay distribution calculated by the BaBar Collaboration and the corresponding decay width, both of which include only the contribution from $D_{s1}(2700)$. With the obtained coupling constant and cutoff parameter, the total decay width and the ratio $R_{D_{s1}}=\Gamma (D_{s1}(2700)\to D^{*}K)/\Gamma (D_{s1}(2700)\to DK)$ can be readily calculated, both of which are found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurements, providing strong support for interpreting the $D_{s1}(2700)$ as a $P$-wave $D{K}^{*}$ molecular state. The experimentally unobserved $D_{s1}(2700)\to D_s^{(*)}\eta$ decay channel provides a further test of this interpretation, as its predicted decay width differs from the conventional quark model prediction.
