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.
Well, it is the Daily Mirror, so I wouldn't take it too seriously: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mirror#mediaviewer/File:The_Daily_Mirror...

Sadly, I don't read/understand Portuguese.

Here's a Google translation of the "about" section of the Facebook page, from which many of the viral article pics seem to have been taken:
We are a rural community in the city of Belo Vale / MG, called Bride of
the Lamb and have a philosophy, the Collaborative Work to maintain a decent quality of life for everyone, so we develop all activities together. The Assoc. Bride of the Lamb ACNC also called, is a non-profit entity and conducts Social and Cultural projects through partnership with public and private agencies.
Our greatest reward is to live without fights or discord, love everyone equally, without a shadow of doubt trust in our fellow man, have faith in God and know that we do not need religion to have eternal life.
Products
Cultural, Theatre, Dance and Music, activities use art as a vehicle of transformation, inclusion and recreation of children, teenagers, adults and seniors. Survived agriculture and to supplement the income of the community, create arts and crafts workshops, underwear and cleaning products.
I'm guessing it's a town with a business/organization that employs mostly/all women and someone made something up...

It's mentioned in as one of the neighbourhoods in this Portuguese Wikipedia article:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Vale
saying (in the Google translation) In the village of Bride Lambs has a small manufactures Lingerrie and cleaning products.
(Noiva do Cordeiro translates to Bride of the Lamb)
That info has been in Portuguese Wikipedia for over a year (just checking in case it was a hoax and Wikipedia had been recently edited to be consistent). There was a documentary made about it which talks about it:

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.

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/Insid...
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.
