This is the most adorably Pakistani meet cute.
I'm so happy for them.

I saw a different photo of them, and have changed my opinion, they do look warmer towards each other. Plus he's only 7 years older and they have known each other for 2 years. I still hope this is truly what she wants, and that he's not a clout chaser, and that they are happy together.

God bless this couple. Malala, you have forever changed the world with your courage and wisdom. I hope things continue to change for girls and women in Pakistan. Mashalla.

She doesn't seem sad to me. And I'm not sad I got married in my mid 20s either.

You should be.

DO, PP, I bet Malala has done more with her life at 24 than most DCUMers will ever do, even if they live to be 100. If the Taliban couldn’t stop her, I doubt marriage will.

1. I wasn't reffering to Malala.

2. You have no idea who posts on DCUM and what he or she has accomplished or will accomplish.

It doesn’t seem risky to assume no one on DCIM won a Nobel Peace Prize at age 17.

Well I'm not. I have a happy, solid marriage, 3 wonderful kids, two successful careers, and gobs of money. May Malala have all the same.

NP. I got married at 25, an arranged marriage (which may be the case for Malala too). 20 years and 2 kids and yes, plenty of money and love. I adore DH and he adores me. We smiled but didn’t grin in our wedding pics, not bc we weren’t unhappy but bc that’s the norm in our culture. I wish Malala a life as happy as mine too!

Asser Malik, an operations manager for the Pakistan Cricket Board from the city of Lahore.

I imagine her family is very protective of her, and I think they would speak up if they thought he was no good.

Thanks for sharing this.

Anonymous wrote:Interesting considering what she said about marriage in July... though that could have been to trick people and allow for privacy... hopefully she is happy and he is good to her.

Exactly this has me going hmm especially given her comments in Vogue only 5 short months ago. Yeah sure people can change their mind I hope she's happy and I hope this is truly her decision yeah yeah activist her father is a progressive truly hope it works out for them and they are happy together for many, many years, but if it's a mistake I hope Malala doesn't hesitate to get divorced.

There are no pictures anywhere of her smiling a big smile. It's possible she can't. She did get shot in the head.

Her eyes aren't smiling either, maybe that's a residual effect too? I don't know I genuinely hope she is truly happy.

You don’t sound genuine.

She doesn't look genuinely happy to me, but I hope she is and I hope he's a good guy.

She looks happy to me. She doesn't make big toothy smiles. But you can tell when she's smiling.
Americans are such idiots, man. I bet you think pageant contestants loo genuinely happy.

Big fake posed smiles at American weddings don’t mean jack shit.

Also, wasn’t she shot at 12? Malala grew up incredibly fast. No one’s making her get married. I guarantee she made the choice on her own.

That's where you are wrong. I've seen plenty of wedding pictures from other cultures including the culture and religion Malala is from and even if there are no big goofy smiles and lots of hugging and kissing you can still since a comfort with each other, they are in sync, they want o be together. It's in their body language even if they are not touching, it's not their with Malala and her husband.
