This marriage took everyone by surprise but the recipient of the A+ global award had been living with the groom for at least a year beforehand and had had a number of s.e.x.u.a.l. encounters at college before that.

Despite the symbol of freedom she has become, there are still many in her family not happy with this behavior and she got married under pressure from them.

Everything to Know About Activist Malala Yousafzai’s New Husband Asser Malik

Malala Yousafzai and Asser Malik have tied the knot.

The human rights activist, 24, first shared the happy news on social media, revealing that the pair got married on Tuesday.

“Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life,” she wrote alongside a series of snaps from the intimate ceremony. “We celebrated a small nikkah ceremony at home in Birmingham with our families.”

“Please send us your prayers,” she added. “We are excited to walk together for the journey ahead.”

In addition to posting a photo of the couple cutting into a “victory cake” after the ceremony, Malik also had some kind words to share with Yousafzai after their marriage.

“In Malala, I found the most supportive friend, a beautiful and kind partner,” he wrote on social media Wednesday. “I’m so excited to spend the rest of our life together.”

Much like the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malik has a deep passion for cricket.

Malik currently works for the Pakistan Cricket Board — the governing body for the sport in Pakistan, which controls and organizes matches for the country’s national team — becoming their High Performance General Manager in May 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Prior to taking the position, Malik was a managing director at a player-management agency, according to ESPN.

In addition to his previous role as an operational manager for the Multan Sultans, a professional cricket franchise in Pakistan, he is a co-founder of the amateur cricket league Last Man Stands in Pakistan.

For the past six years, LMS Pakistan has helped give amateur and recreational players proper experience, and brought the sport to areas where there is a “dearth of cricket infrastructure,” per his LinkedIn profile.

In 2018, the team competed in the LMS World Series for the first time. “We will win it for Pakistan,” Malik said in a video posted on Facebook at the time. (The LMS World Series was won that year by Sri Lanka.) – Source
