There is no harm in addressing your colleague and informing her of your desire to marry, provided that you observe the guidelines, such as not being in seclusion (), lowering your gaze, and limiting yourselves to permissible speech. It is permissible for a man to propose to a woman directly, even if she has a guardian.
