The women are trapping their husbands by handing spy devices, like miniature cameras fitted in pens and cigarette lighters, as gifts, The Peninsula newspaper reported.

Some wives who are not able to make their husbands accept such gifts slyly place the devices in their cars, the report said.

The paper said that it interviewed "a number of women who said their friends or colleagues admitted to spying or having spied on their husbands as they suspected they were cheating on them."

At least one female used such a device on her father and she was shocked to discover that he had an affair with another woman.

"I was psychologically ill and lost love and respect for my father," she was quoted as saying in the paper.

Miniature cameras fitted in pens and cigarette lighters for spying purposes are easily available in the local market and they are also not very expensive.

But the women, who unraveled the spying activities of their friends and colleagues against their husbands, said they did not approve of the act and added that they would like the authorities to ban the sale of such devices.

Another woman said in a sting operation one of her colleagues placed a pen-camera that could take photographs in her husband's breast pocket.

She discovered that her husband was indeed cheating on her.
