Zayn Malik's family have hit out after trolls claimed his sister Safaa was too young to marry.
Photographs were shared online from the traditional Nikkah ceremony where Safaa married Martin Tiser on September 16, in Bradford, leaving them vulnerable to trolls.
The singer's other sister Waliyha, 21, shut down keyboard warriors in a scathing response after people aired their concerns about Safaa being 17.
She wrote: "It’s there life so please tell me why ur so concerned? Hasn’t ur own marriage worked or something." (sic)
Waliyha's post had come under fire from trolls among her 708K fans on Instagram where she shared the montage of stunning snaps.
"She is beautiful but how she is married in that little age?? so sad." One troll wrote, leading the troops.
"What the hell man she’s a baby what’s with the world these days."
"Is that Safaa's wedding? Isn't she too young."
"But she's only 17, right? The past week was her birthday.."
In the photos, new bride Safaa posed with her new husband and many of her family members.
The blushing bride looked stunning in an embroidered gold and cream salwar kameez in the series of wedding pictures.
Waliyha penned next to the set of photos: "Congratulations to my beautiful baby sister and the best little brother in law on your Nikkah. ❤️love you."
Zayn's mum Trisha was first to share pictures of the wedding on social media.
The One Direction singer appeared to snub the wedding as he wasn't seen in any photos.
