If you don’t know, Malala‘s story went viral after she was targeted by the Taliban back in 2012 and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. Malala had been writing about life under Taliban rule in blogs for the BBC when she was shot.

Malala was treated for her injury in England and finished up her schooling in Birmingham, England. She has continued advocating for female education over the years, and won the Nobel Prize in 2014.

Congratulations to the couple on the wonderful news!
