TIL Desk/World/London/ Nobel Laureate and Pakistani activist for girls’ education Malala Yousafzai has tied the knot in a small ceremony in the UK. Yousafzai gained international recognition for her activism against the Taliban’s efforts to stop girls from attending school in Pakistan.
Announcing her marriage on Twitter, the 24-year-old posted a few pictures of the ceremony along with her husband Asser Malik and family members. Decked up in a tea pink suit and simple jewellery, Yousafzai is seen carrying out the wedding formalities in her home in Birmingham with Malik, who is the general manager of Pakistan Cricket Board’s High Performance Centre.
“Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life,” she said in a tweet. “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,” she said. Yousafzai’s recent comments on marriage to an international fashion magazine had stirred controversy.
