Nobel Peace Prize and her Marriage Controversy
She was honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize when she was seventeen for her influential work on the education of girls, especially in backward areas of Pakistan. She shared the peace award with another children’s rights activist from India, Kailash Satyarthi. She also established her non-profit Malala Fund, and it invested around $2 million in Afghanistan. Additionally, Yousafzai signed an agreement with Apple TV+ that will see her produce documentaries and dramas that focus on children and women.

In July 2021, Yousafzai told British Vogue magazine that she was unsure if she would marry someone. She added that she still doesn’t understand why people married. If you want to have somebody in your life, why do you have to sign nikkah? Why can not it just be a partnership? However, people across Pakistan heavily criticized her on this statement. Users also trolled her on social media platforms for her mocking statement about nikkah.
