For a 2021 issue of British Vogue, Malala had shared her doubts about marriage, “I still don’t understand why people have to get married. If you want to have a person in your life, why do you have to sign marriage papers, why can’t it just be a partnership?” However, she revealed that the experience of watching her university friends settle down had gradually opened her mind to the prospect.(Twitter/@Malala)
