Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist and youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, announced Tuesday that she has gotten married.
"Today marks a precious day in my life," the 24-year-old wrote. "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."
Yousafzai, who survived being shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls to be educated, rose to international prominence for her story and her subsequent work as a human rights activist. In 2014, she became the youngest person to receive a Nobel Peace Prize at 17 years old.
