Iraq wedding fire: Bride and groom can't live in their community after blaze kills more than 100

A bride and groom, whose wedding celebration ended in disaster after a fire killed more than 100 of their guests, have told Sky News they can no longer live in their community.
Revan, 27, and bride, Haneen, 18, say they feel they are "dead inside" despite surviving the blaze, which started inside a packed wedding hall in Qaraqosh, in the Nineveh province of northern Iraq.
Revan said he lost 15 members of his family in the fire, adding his bride "can't speak" after the loss of 10 of her relatives, including her mother and brother. Her father is also in a critical condition.

The bride and groom are not victims. The victims are the people who perished in the fire, and the other attendees of their wedding. It's heartbreaking seeing how much misplaced empathy the public is expressing in excusing this couple and ignoring the true victims of this tragedy.

l am so sorry for my previous comment. l just watched an interview with the groom and his dad. They say they were offered the fireworks but they refused. At the end the fireworks still put there. So it is not their fault but the fault of the hall owner who put the fireworks without the consent of bride and groom. Also the place doesnt provide fire extinguisher!!! imagine? No safety precaution for emergency! Also the main door was locked, that's why many people trapped inside. They have to exit through the kitchen door :'(
