Taking everyone by surprise, the 24-year old Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai announced on Instagram that she has tied the knot with her partner Asser Malik whom she has been dating for a long time. She even shared a couple of pictures from her Nikkah ceremony which took place at her Birmingham home amid family members.
It is for the first time that she has introduced her husband to the world and people are generally curious to know who Asser Malik is. Malala Yousafzai had often in interviews said that she did not believe in the institution of marriage but her thinking changed after meeting the man of her life. The pictures tell the story as to how much the young couple are in love with each other.
Today marks a precious day in my life.
