The Town where entire population is made up of beautiful young women mostly unmarried... <br /> <br />More than 600 women make up the population of Noiva do Cordeiro, southeast Brazil, and they are renowned in the local area for being extremely attractive. <br /> <br />A town where the entire population is made up of young women has made an appeal for single men - but only those willing to live by female rules. <br /> <br />Over 600 women make up the population of Noiva do Cordeiro, southeast Brazil - most aged between 20 and 35. <br /> <br />Although some are married with families, their husbands are made to work away from home, only being allowed to return at weekends. <br /> <br />Sons are sent away when they reach 18 and no other men are permitted to live in the town, which sits in a remote valley 60 miles east of Belo Horizonte. <br /> <br />The settlement dates back to the 1890s, when a young woman and her family were excommunicated from the Catholic church after she was accused of adultery. <br /> <br />Slowly more single women and mother-only families joined the community, and over the decades several attempts by men to intervere in their way of life made them adopt a strictly 'no male' policy. <br /> <br />Today, girl power rules in the rural town, with women in charge of every aspect of life - from farming to town planning and even religion. <br /> <br />But while none of the residents of Noiva do Cordeiro would have it any other way, it has left them with just one problem. <br /> <br />One of the women, Nelma Fernandes, 23, admits it's impossible for the girls - renowned in the region as strikingly beautiful - to find a would-be spouse. <br /> <br />She said: "Here, the only men we single girls meet are either married or related to us, everyone is a cousin. I haven't kissed a man for a long time. <br /> <br />"We all dream of falling in love and getting married. But we like living here and don't want to have to leave the town to find a husband. <br /> <br />The lack of eligible batchelors has now led the community's many single young ladies for make an appeal for interested men - but only those willing to adapt to living in a women's world.
