In Brazil there is a town inhabited only by women
They are 600 and ask to be men to fall in love and marry
Only women. There is a city in Brazil full of feminine beauty. In total 600 young people between 20 and 35 years living in Noiva do Cordeiro, southeast of the country.
The settlement was founded in 1890 when a family was excommunicated from the Catholic Church accused of adultery. Over the years, many single women and mothers joined the community.
The children of these women leave the city at age 18. However, as time has progressed the rules have become more flexible and allowed settlers lately feel very alone.
"We all dream to fall in love and get married. But we like living here and do not want to have to leave town to find a husband," says Nelma Fernandes, a 23 years.
That's why women decided to invite all men who are interested in visiting. They only have one condition: "Do what we say and live according to our standards," says Nelma
