Let's get back to my interview with Malala Yousafzai.

She's the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate and co-founder of Malala Fund, which advocates for girls' education worldwide.

In her new memoir, Malala writes about her college years at Oxford, her struggles with PTSD and panic attacks, and her decision to marry despite her reservations about the institution of marriage.

Her new memoir is called Finding My Way.

Let's talk about love.

You write that you'd convinced yourself you'd never date, you'd never marry, that you'd be like a quote, like a nun but Muslim.

Once you got past yourself and you and your now husband, Assar, fell madly in love, which folks can read all about it in this book.

But you were resistant to marriage for a long time.

Why were you against marriage?

Yes, you read a lot of books about feminism and marriage.

Well, you made this list of questions for him before you marry him.

I mean, you asked him about fidelity, about whether he'd control what you wear, whether he'd take another wife.

These were real considerations that you had to know.

You were trying to extract guarantees, though.

Yes.
