Making dua for Allah to destroy baatil

Q: Is it permissible to make the following dua "O Allah, destroy those efforts of getting married between two people in which the roots were of baatil" (e.g. talking over whatsapp, meeting up secretly, etc.)?

A: Rather make this du`aa: "O Allah, destroy the baatil ways and baatil efforts."

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
