Is it permissible for a young man to supplicate to marry a specific girl, while adhering to the Islamic etiquette in dealing with her, and hoping for Allah to fulfill that, using the supplication of Yunus (عليه السلام) due to what has been mentioned about the virtue of this supplication in having prayers answered and changing destiny?

Your love for a righteous girl of good religion and character is a justification for marrying her, especially since the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is nothing like marriage for two who love one another." And supplication is destiny, and a Muslim should repel afflictions with supplication.
