Wife who minimize off husband’s penis plans to remarry him after he gained £3,000 compensation
Gilberto Nogueira de Oliveira had his penis severed by his wife Daiane dos Santos Farias in Brazil in 2023, and the pair reportedly plan to remarry – as he has won a small fortune
A man whose penis was brutally severed by his wife intends to use the £3,000 compensation he received following the attack to remarry her. Gilberto Nogueira de Oliveira endured the horrific injury inflicted by his spouse Daiane dos Santos Farias in Atibaia, São Paulo state, Brazil.
She insists she attacked her husband after discovering he had cheated on her on her birthday in 2023. Despite the shocking event, the couple seem to have made amends and plan to exchange vows again once she is released from custody.
Farias enticed Gilberto with the prospect of a romantic encounter, binding his hands with her underwear. She then grabbed a knife and severed her partner’s penis before flushing the appendage down the toilet.
This comes as a teenager suffered a terrible ordeal at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend. She turned herself into the police that same night and confessed to the crime.
Farias was eventually handed a sentence of four years and eight months in prison but was granted parole and released from the Mogi das Cruzes Women’s Penitentiary in November 2025, according to O Globo, reports the Express US. In an astonishing twist, Gilberto admitted he had missed her and wished to rekindle their relationship.
They are now gearing up to remarry. Gilberto was granted R$20,000 (just over £3,000) in damages from Hospital Santa Casa Misericórdia de Atibaia.
The hospital was ordered to pay moral damages after images of his severe injuries taken during his treatment were leaked and widely circulated on social media. He revealed plans to use the compensation to fund a wedding and make a down payment on a penile prosthesis.
He had initially asked for R$ 100,000 (£15,140) in the lawsuit. Gilberto stated: “This compensation is very low.
“I want more. I need the money because I also want to renovate my house.”
Court documents show that immediately after his penis was severed, Gilberto was informed by medical staff at Santa Casa de Atibaia that photographs of the injury were necessary to determine the appropriate treatment. He gave consent for the images to be taken, but later found out they were being shared in WhatsApp groups and on X (formerly Twitter ).
Farias had allegedly resorted to such drastic measures after discovering Gilberto had been unfaithful with his niece. Not only did she dispose of the severed appendage down the toilet, but she also threw the victim’s car keys out of the window to hinder his attempts to get help.
However, while in prison, the former partners exchanged letters in which Gilberto admitted regretting the sexual encounter with his niece, while forgiving Farias for the amputation of his penis. Gilberto is pursuing reconstructive surgery through Brazil’s public healthcare system.
As per urologist Cesar Camara, the procedure is still relatively rare in the South American country and carries a “high risk” in terms of successful results. However, it is not deemed hazardous for the patient.
