Nine years after being shot in the head and left for dead by a Taliban gunman, Malala Yousafzai wrote 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.”

MOnica, they may well have the civil wedding that makes it legal in British law. I rather hope so - too many young Muslim women find themselves disadvantaged if they dont

Uplifting news. Wishing the young couple much joy and a long peaceful life together.

I do find it interesting that they have had the muslim niqqah marriage ceremony, but do not seem to have had a legal ceremony in a registery office or similar.

I was having a bit of a wobble this morning and I realised that it was not important, when I read this.

Uplifting to see such a positive thread.

Thank you for this post. This is the sort of role model our young people should look up to, not the vacuous celebrities. I hope they have a long and happy life and good health to enjoy it.
