It is permissible for the woman's guardian to delegate someone else to perform the marriage proposal, provided that the代理 (agent) is qualified for marriage guardianship. It is also permissible for the husband to be delegated to perform the proposal for himself, according to most scholars. In this case, it suffices for the husband to say: "I have married so-and-so."
