24-year-old Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai has married her partner Asser Malik at her home in the United Kingdom.

The union was announced on Tuesday by the girlsโ€™ education advocate and Nobel Peace Prize winner.

The Pakistani activist who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012 after making them angry with her campaign for the girl child educations, said a small service took place at her home in Birmingham and it was attended by family and friends.

Pictures showed her in a pink dress, while her partner wore a matching tie.

Malala said, โ€œToday 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.โ€
