““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.”, she posted on her social media.

When Malala was 16 years old, she delivered a speech at the United Nations headquarters on the importance of gender equality in education.
