Malala Yousafzai announces wedding on Twitter

Activist and Nobel Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai declared her wedding day on Twitter Tuesday.

The 24-calendar year-outdated said that she and her freshly-wed husband, discovered only as Asser, held a little nikkah, an Islamic marriage ceremony at which a couple signals a marital agreement. They tied the knot at their home in Birmingham, England.

“Today marks a valuable working day in my daily life,” Yousafzai wrote in her announcement.

Yousafzai’s announcement arrived just a couple months following she mentioned she was not sure about the plan of relationship in a July 2021 interview with British Vogue.

“I however don’t understand why people have to get married,” she explained. “If you want to have a person in your lifestyle, why do you have to signal relationship papers, why cannot it just be a partnership?” 

In her Twitter announcement, however, the human legal rights activist expressed pleasure for her and her husband’s foreseeable future as a married couple.

“We are fired up to walk alongside one another for the journey ahead,” she wrote.
