LONDON (Reuters) – Malala Yousafzai, the campaigner for girls' education and Nobel Peace Prize laureate has got married, she said on social media.

The 24-year-old, who lives in Britain, said she and her new husband, who she named as Asser, had wed in the city of Birmingham and celebrated at home with their families.

"Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life," she wrote on Twitter, adding four pictures to her post.
