However, they don't do this by using violence, lawyers or any other ways in which you might expect.
Instead, when a woman discovers her husband is cheating, she can hire a mistress dispeller to subtly infiltrate the mistress's life, become friends with her and win her trust in an attempt to break up the affair.
It's a service that can cost as much as AUD$59,000 (GBP33,000).

Weiqing International Marriage Hospital Emotion Clinic Group is one such mistress-dispelling service.
Set up in 2001 in Shanghai, it now operates in as many as 59 cities, and gets rid of hundreds of mistresses via several basic rules.
Shu Xin, Weiging's director, told the New York Times that first of all their mistress-dispelling company will figure out what kind of mistress they're dealing with (ie, whether she is in it for money, love or sex).
Then, they will 'draw up a plan'.
The mistress dispeller will next start befriending the mistress, either through working out at her gym, moving in nearby, or getting a job with her.
How she goes on to remove the mistress from the woman's husband's life is varied.
She might find her a new lover, a job in a different city or even persuade her into thinking that the married man she is with isn't worth her attentions.
A mistress dispeller will not be violent or get intimately involved with the mistress they are concerned with.
Growing business: Mistress dispelling is especially popular in China, but it looks set to spread around the world
Frenemies: A mistress dispeller will befriend a mistress, either through working out at her gym, moving in nearby, or getting a job with her
Countless other Chinese sites also offer mistress-dispelling or similar services.
The Reunion Company claims to specialise in 'emotional manipulation expert hands to help you quickly recover love', according to a translation of its website.
Meanwhile, Baihe Emotion Clinic in Beijing, also offers mistress dispelling services among other things.
With plans to expand into other countries including Europe and North America, it might not be long before such businesses come to our shores.
It's certainly one way to do marriage counselling.
