Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai sealed the deal with a fairytale wedding in a small ceremony in Birmingham, central England.
The 24-year-old was shot by the Taliban for campaigning for girls’ education in 2012 and rose to prominence after the tragic event.
“Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser (Malik) and I tied the knot to be partners for life. We celebrated a small nikkah ceremony at home in Birmingham with our families. Please send us your prayers.” Yousafzai penned a heartwarming note as she announced the happy news on social media.
Today marks a precious day in my life.
Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life. We celebrated a small nikkah ceremony at home in Birmingham with our families. Please send us your prayers. We are excited to walk together for the journey ahead.
