A firebrand Pakistani scholar has been detained for making death threats against Nobel prize laureate Malala Yousafzai over her comments on marriage, officials said Friday.

Since surviving an assassination attempt by the Taliban at age 15 in rural northwest Pakistan, the Oxford graduate has become a global figure promoting education for girls.

The issue was debated by MPs in her home province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who said her comments were against Islam. She appeared on the front cover of the British edition of Vogue magazine last week dressed in a full-length designer gown and headscarf.
