The answer

There is no harm for a man to propose to a woman if she did not accept the first suitor. The ruling of her guardian's acceptance is nullified if she dislikes him, so she has the right to retract her acceptance, or if the suitor withdraws his proposal, then it is permissible to propose to her.
