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.”

That photo is utterly gorgeous.
I had no idea that Malala lived in Brum.
I wish them every bit of love and joy ♥️

she initially came to Birmingham for specialist surgery and rehab, paid for by the pakistan govt, then her father got a job there with the pakistan consulate and she attended one of the king edward schools before going on to oxford.
so big up to birmingham.

One news item I saw rather suggested that they were deliberately not having the civil marriage.
