“There can be a society where we can live together."

We love seeing women supporting other women. On March 7, Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai spoke about her love of Ariana Grande in a new episode of Apple Watch’s “Time to Walk” series. It’s amazing to see that one of the world’s leading activists knows the power of a good pop song.

As part of the BBC's 100 Women series, we asked four women leaders to exchange letters with four women from Afghanistan who share their profession or passion. Here, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, who in 2012 was shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan for speaking up for the rights of girls to be educated, hears from 17 year-old Rohila, who has been unable to go to school for four months since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August. We have changed Rohila's name for her safety.

When I first came across Malala Yousafzai’s wedding photos, I found myself immediately thinking, “She’s too young for this.”. The 24-year-old Pakistan-born activist looked resplendent, as most brides do, in a lovely blush-pink silk wedding attire, as she posed with her husband Asser Malik in photos she posted on Twitter last week. Malala, who at 17 became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was married in England on November 9, more than nine years after she was shot in the head by the Taliban as a teenager.

On Tuesday, Malala Yousafzai shared a photograph of herself in a traditional pink shalwar kameez, holding hands with a Pakistani man she introduced as “Asser” — her new husband. The two had just celebrated a small nikkah, or Islamic wedding ceremony, at home in Birmingham.

“Today marks a precious day in my life. Asser and I tied the knot to be partners for life. We are excited to walk together for the journey ahead.” With these words, Malala Yousafzai, the 24-year-old women’s rights campaigner and Nobel Peace Prize winner, stunned the world this week as she announced her marriage to Asser Malik, a Pakistani cricket executive.

“I do not want to get married... or at least not until I’m 35.” I heard myself blurt out those words – reactionary, half-consciously – many times over the last few years when asked about relationships. I wasn’t against marriage, but I was cautious about its practice. I questioned the patriarchal roots of the institution, the compromises women are expected to make after the wedding, and how laws regarding relationships are influenced by cultural norms and misogyny in many corners of the world. I feared losing my humanity, my independence, my womanhood – my solution was to avoid getting married at all.
