No MAN'S land?

 

Noiva do Cordeiro, Brazil is literally 'no man's land'.  It's definitely remote and there are definitely NO men :).  This unusual town dates back to the 1890s after a woman accused of adultery was excommunicated from the Catholic Church and cast out of her family and home.  She was relocated to Novia do Cordeiro to live out her days.  As more women were accused of adultery, they too were relocated to this town.  The women finally accepted there fate and refused all men to enter the town.
Today,  the women are there by choice and are mostly single young women under the age of 35.  Most are hoping to marry, but have few prospects as no men live in their town.  Today there are an estimated 600 beautiful and single women living in the town, many eager to marry and start families.  If they do marry and decide to continue living in the town, the husbands can only visit them on the weekends and adult male children must move out by the age of 18.  Many women want to continue living in the town and take pride in their accomplishments of running all aspects the town.  I'm thinking after the recent publicity, they might actually find their dream weekend husbands.
