Malala Yousafzai, Nobel prize winner, got married to Asser Malik, the Pakistan Cricket Board manager. She announced this on Tuesday, saying:
“My life is blessed with a precious day today Asser and I get married to be partners forever. In Birmingham, we had a small Nikkah ceremony with our families. Send us your prayers. We are ecstatic to walk together in the future.”
One of the world’s most well-known advocates for girls’ education is Malala Yousafzai, who insists that all girls have the right to education. She is known by the name Malala throughout the world.
In 2012, Taliban members attempted to murder Ms. Yousafzai for criticizing the group’s attempts to keep Pakistani girls out of school. When she was shot, she wrote blog posts for the BBC about life under the Taliban in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.
At age 15, a Taliban gunman shot her in the head on a school bus, along with two other friends. She suffered severe injuries in the attack and was transferred to Britain for treatment. In the same year, she moved to Birmingham, England, where she pursued her education.
She also called Birmingham “her second home.” She founded the Malala Fund along with her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai. Malala Fund is an organization advocating for girls’ education. Through the fund, girls are given access to free, safe, and high-quality education.
In 2020, she completed the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics degree at Oxford University. After graduating from Oxford University, she went on to become a prominent human rights campaigner.
She is a role model as she received the Nobel Prize at a young age. Malala has called for more support for Afghan refugees. Recently, she made a deal with Apple TV+ to produce documentaries. Throughout her career, she has advocated for girls’ rights and education.
Her husband Asser Malik is the High-Performance General Manager of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In 2012, he graduated from Pakistan’s Lahore University of Management Sciences.
Several messages flooded her social media accounts regarding her wedding. Let’s congrats her on her wedding and wish her good luck at the beginning of a new chapter in her life!
