do you think that action should be taken against men/women that 'steal' another man's wife/husband until it causes divorce. Do you think that the adulters should be punished?

Well, there is already 'enough' law in Malaysia to 'punish' these culprits. I bet most of them don't get punished enough because the law enforcers themselves are adulterers and corrupted!

I think they should be rewarded
Just think about the movie along came polly. Be like a Hippo! Be happy.
If you are married to a man, and he goes elsewhere you should thank the women for liberating you. There is nothing more horrible than a man living with you when there is no more love, or the contrary. And if you still love him, then you should be happy for him that he found hapiness again, and you are now free to find yours.
Marrige is an institution yes, but you should not pay 60 years for a mistake you did in your 20's. If you are no longer fit to be together then why spend the decades of your life left fighting and living as strangers? And that is best case scenario, usually it ends up in fights. Just accept it and you can even stay friends.
Love is not possession. If someone else takes your husband away be happy, because if he did something like that then you made a wrong choice or something was wroong in the begining. Dont seek vengence, seek understaning for your sake and for his/hers.
I remember reading a book once where a man left his wife, and the mans father goes and sees the girl and tells her his son has much courage. At first the story seems strange but the father in law actually comforts the women telling her he had a mistress at the time, but stayed with his wife and felt unhappy the rest of his days, and made his own wife unhappy and sour. And that his son leaving her was the best thing that could happen to both of them, they were simply not meant to be. I am sorry io do not remmber the title of the book.

Nope, definitely not. You can't force a person to love you forever. And you cannot dictate who he/she should love. There is no point of staying in the marriage and suffer mental torture if there is no longer love and understanding in it. I dont see marriage as a prison. It is just a legal paper enabling us to produce legitimate children. After some time we grew tired of each other, this could happen and it is normal. We are all human aren't we? Dont look at the third party as a 'stealer' or home wrecker. Love could happen to anybody and anyone always at unexpected moments. Often we found friends who are trapped and tied down due to failed marriage. Worst part was that the other party refused to let go legally (divorce). How do we keep our basic sanity in that kind of situation?

If u read The Star, last week there was a milestone case whereby an adulterer was ordered to pay 100 over thousand dollars to the wife she snatched the husband from in KL.
My opinion is anyone should be punished if found to have a hand in breaking up another happy family.

U cant control people from liking or falling in love with some1 but u can penalize adultery & put a kind of control on its incidents by decreasing the monetary benefits they get after their divorce & by limiting their chances to having custody on kids since they wrecked d marriage. But otherwise on the emotional side they cant help d feeling they have so if u like ur marriage u got to work to make it work. Men are polygamus by nature but i think women can get cold too. Passion n creativity are essential to keep a marriage going n to prevent the spouse from getting bored from the marriage.

I kind of agree with a little bit of what everyone has wrote, especially 'Bear' and 'encik Bintang'
If a woman is trapped in a love-less marriage and she meets a really nice caring loving man that sweeps her off her feet would that be classed as 'stealing'?

No legal actions should be taken against 'husband-snatchers', but I think also an angry wife who kicks the girl's *** shouldn't be punished, she has all right to be angry and to take her revenge. I do think adulterers deserve a punishment because marriage is a comitment which concerns two individuals, so it's not merely a matter of personal choice. Adultery is a crime against your legal partner.
I also think causing a couple to divorce or separate by spreading rumours or lodging false allegations, such as "your husband doesn't love you, he loves me", should be made punishable.
If you suspect anything, keep an eye on your husband's handphone activites, like is he going away from you to entertain a calling party and then giggles or speaks romantic stuff, ambigious sms and so forth. And don't allow your husband to take adopted daughter, which is relatively common in Malaysia, as Malay saying says: "angkat terangkat".
I know why you posted this in Malaysia: because it's common here.

No. The married person who is cheating is breaking the obligation to his or her spouse and to the law of marriage. The other person is no saint, but they're not the one violation their convenant with someone.
I slept with a married woman once and felt really bad about it. Ok, not that bad, but kinda bad.

Yeah.. They should be given death penalty for repetitive mischievous behaviors. I am on extreme side when comes to punishment.

hard to answer this question, well it wrong from the moral point of view. but again the law can really do much as this is human feelings and do not really commit real crime

The only punishment is the significant other leaving her/him.
