Many research explained motivation, personality tendention, and thinking structure of terrorist's. But studies to terrorist’s wives were not much conducted yet. Terrorist’s wives are individuals which not always have same thought with the husband. Eventhough they have high conformity level, not all of them adopt husband’s thought. There are wives that more inclusive or more radical than their husband. This research purpose to know how wives means terror act of husband. Whether they accept or decline. Wive’s interpretation is also explain whether they agree or deny to terror act commontly. The participants of this research are 4 wives of terror convict in Jakarta, Semarang, and Cilacap. The approach used is qualitative with interview method and qualitative thematic analysis as analysis technic. The data is displayed descriptively with excerpts of interview to give strengthening. The result shows that 2 wives think that their husbands’ terror act is right. They handling husbands’ acts are da’wah and struggling for Islam, not terror. 2 others wives think that their husbands are wrong. Their husbands are convicted due to against the law.
