A more credible article about Noiva do Cordeiro, near Belo Vale, Minas Gerais, Brazil, has
been done by The Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/brazil/11065364/Insi…
It's more of a cultural thing that the men work away through the week so the day to
day running of the village (which translates as Bride of the Lamb) is done mainly by
women. There is a bit of exaggerating of the whole "they just need some men" -
thing though.

My conclusion is that the place is real,
and has some kind of interesting history relating to the church and women, but unsure
if the Mirror article about the present day demand for men willing to submit to
their rules is verifiable. It really needs a Portuguese speaker to decide that
as that’s the language the source material is in.

Is this for real?

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to
draft one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article
about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
