The 24-year-old Pakistani human rights campaigner who was shot in 2012 by the Taliban for daring to want an education posted images on Twitter of her celebration with Asser Malik and her family.
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.
