The 16-year-old 'beauty queen' bride of a 65-year-old mayor in Brazil has bitten back at trolls and said "we don't care".
Mayor of Araucaria, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Paraná, Hissam Hussein Dehaini, 65, reportedly wed his teen bride Kauane Rode Camargo last month.
The high school student last year participated in the Miss Araucária contest, in the teen category (for girls aged 15 to 17) and came second. Reports state that she turned 16 the day before her wedding.

The politician faced a backlash after marrying the child and handed in his resignation because of this, coupled with the fact he promoted her mum to a senior position days after tying the knot.
But the youngster asserts that she and her pensioner husband "don't care" about the wave of criticism they have faced.
Finally breaking their collective silence last week, she took to Instagram and shared a picture with her husband, writing: "What matters, honestly… It's just that we don't care!"
He was first married in 1980, before his mother in law was born.
Metropoles also revealed that Dehaini has 16 children, one of them deceased.

This follows reports that a day after the wedding on April 12, Kauane's mother Marilene Rode, 36, was promoted to Secretary of Culture of Araucária. She had been a general secretary beforehand, reports stated.
