Pakistani Nobel laureate and activist Malala Yousafzai tied the knot with Asser Malik in a small intimate nikkah ceremony. Malala looked radiant in a tea-pink shalwar kameez on her special day. The ceremony was attended by Malala’s parents and close friends.
Malala took to Twitter to announce her nikkah along with the pictures from the event.
“Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life,” wrote Malala.
“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 added.
