Her husband and child are rag dolls. Meirivone Rocha Moraes, 37, from Brazil, married a doll

Her husband and child are rag dolls.

Meirivone Rocha Moraes, 37, from Brazil, married a doll her mother made for her. She took pity on her daughter, who had suffered from loneliness and could not build a family of her own. So she made her a boy, complete with a moustache, dark hair, and blue eyes out of cloth. Meirivone liked him so much that she first got engaged and then married him.
