Boy proposing to a girl directly

Q: Can a boy ask a girl about marriage?

A: This is shameful behaviour. In these matters, the parents and the elders of the family must be consulted. This type of a direct consultation, apart from it being indecent, leads to problems, complications and disputes.

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