Malala, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, has sparked debate. She recently told Vogue that she still doesn’t understand why people have to get married..
“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?” said @Malala in her latest interview for @BritishVogue#Vogue #Magazine #Malala #Marriage #Partners pic.twitter.com/aXcXNG93qp

Muslim intellectuals and scholars have been outspoken in their condemnation of the statement. Aaqib Anjum Aafi, a biographical researcher and scholar, stated:
ghairoN se kaha tumne, ghairoN se suna tum ne
kuchh ham se kaha hota kuchh ham se suna hota
English tr: you heard of the strangers, you discussed with the strangers
had you talked with us, had you heard from us.
ghairoN se kahā tum ne ghairoN se sunā tum ne,
kuchh ham se kahā hotā kuchh ham se sunā hotā— Chiragh Hasan Hasrat https://t.co/LL2zEnauX9

Meanwhile, Mufti Yasir Nadeem, an Islamic scholar and Darul Uloom Deoband graduate who teaches at the Institute of Islamic Education in Illinois, criticised Malala and said she made a statement that apostates do.
Marriage giveď your child share in the inheritance of parents/ancestral property. It gives a family system responsible for the children and oldage parents. Marriage defines all the relation with responsibility to each member of family.
Marriage give better things than partnership https://t.co/X8Nop8b70f— Shameela (@shaikhshameela) June 2, 2021
