Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai married Asser Malik in a low-key nikaah ceremony at their home in Birmingham on Tuesday.Taking to her Instagram handle, Malala shared photos from her intimate wedding with Asser and wrote, “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.” Celebs across the globe wishes the newly-wed couple.

She survived the assassination attempt and became a global icon for women’s rights. At the age of 17, Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Malala is now a leading human rights campaigner.
