Brazilian woman marries a rag doll made by her mother and has a baby with her “husband”

KUALA LUMPUR, June 22 ― A woman in Brazil made headlines after marrying a homemade rag doll and now they have a baby together.

Meirivoye Rocha Moraes, 37, said it was love at first sight when her mother introduced her to Marcelo, The Mirror reported.

To make things even stranger, Moraes and Marcelo even have a baby together.

Moraes said her mother made the doll after hearing her complaints about being single and having no one to dance with.

After meeting Marcelo, Moraes had a passionate romance, and the couple decided to marry in a ceremony attended by some 250 guests.
Moraes said life with Marcelo was wonderful, although she admits her husband can be a bit lazy.

“I went to these dances, but I didn’t always find a partner. Then he came into my life and everything made sense,” she reportedly said.

Looking back on her wedding day, Moraes said it was wonderful.

“He’s a man I’ve always wanted in my life. Married life with him is wonderful.”

“He doesn’t fight with me, he doesn’t argue, and he simply understands me. Marcelo is an excellent and faithful husband. He’s such a special man that all women envy him.” After the wedding, the couple spent their honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro.

The couple also welcomed their baby boy, Marcelinho, on May 21, an event that Moraes livestreamed to an audience of 200.

“It really bothers me when people say this is fake.”

“It really angers me. I’m a woman of character. My father and mother taught me to be honest, to be a good person, and not to take advantage of anyone.”

Woman who ‘married’ a ragdoll admits their family life is ‘complicated’ after she had ‘twins’ – and says her husband is stressed about providing for the family

‘It’s not easy but at the same time, I get emotional every moment, every second.

‘In everyday life, Marcelo and I have a lot of tasks with the new babies, as well as looking after our first child.

‘And even when I’m tired, he [my husband] helps me bathe, eat and sleep.’

She said that the couple find joy in having their home filled with love, laughter, and children.

However, Marcelo has found the price of having a bigger family quite stressful.

She said: ‘The expenses are increasing and he has to pay for the food, clothes, rent, water, electricity, medications.

‘Therefore he has been a bit worried about affording the bills.

‘But despite his concerns, he always dreamed of having a family and children, so this is all he ever wished for.’

Meirivone added: ‘My dream now is to own my own house.

‘Since our wedding in 2018, I’ve been scouring the internet every day. I won’t give up.’

The couple’s relationship has seen many twists and turns over the last two years, from cheating rumours to kidnappings.

Last year, the couple hosted a gender reveal in their home, surrounded by 40 family members and friends.

Meirivone added: ‘The party was good. There was chicken, pasta, salad and cake.

‘We even had personalised sweets with our initials, music, soft drinks, and lots of guests, the event was attended by around 40 people. And the moment of revelation was really cool, the baby’s name will be Marcela.’
