摘要：The development of religious extremism is driven by various internal and external factors. In addition, it also involves women either as fighters or victims of war. In this regard, this study discusses the external factors of women's involvement in groups of religious extremists, particularly in Daesh group. In order to achieve the objective, this qualitative study was conducted through library approach and interviews with the deradicalization experts, case witnesses and police authorities. The data collected were analysed inductively showing that women's involvement in religious extremism is driven by a variety of external factors, including; deceived by sweet promises such as heavenly rewards and a marriage to the male fighter. They were easily exploited and manipulated by the male fighters too. Therefore, authorities need to take critical actions to restrain the involvement of women and men in this movement.
