He was allegedly over the drink and drive limit.
The teen couple lost their lives at the roadside.
João, 19 and 18-year-old Maynara only got married on 28 August.
The teen newlyweds shared photos of the ceremony on social media with heartwarming captions, as reported by Need To Know.
Dyonatha was taken to the hospital.
The accident took place on the PA-160 highway in Parauapebas in northern Brazil at around 1 am on Sunday (21 Sep).
After receiving hospital treatment, the suspect appeared in court the following day.
He is charged with manslaughter aggravated by drunkenness, according to reports.
Prosecutors called for him to be held on preventive detention due to his allegedly being over the limit.
The defence pointed out that he is a first-time offender, has a fixed residence, and a job contract.
In the end, Judge Juliana Lima Souto Augusto decided to set bail at £2,090 (BRL 15,000)
His driver’s licence was seized, and he will have to appear in court every month and is not allowed to leave the district without prior permission.
The investigation into the teens’ deaths is ongoing.
