Can a muslim male propose(ask for nikah) a muslim female directly through email or mobile sms without any other person involved???
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.
Marriage is a sacred institution. Marriage from the initial request to the actual marriage should be carried out with dignity and honour.
It is permissible for a muslim male to make a request of marriage to a muslim female through email or mobile sms. It may be more dignified to make a marriage request through a trusted person.[1]
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.

مختصر القدوري (ص: 145)
النكاح ينعقد بالإيجاب والقبول بلفظين يعبر بهما عن الماضي أو يعبر بأحدهما عن الماضي وبالآخر عن المستقبل مثل أن يقول: زوجتي فيقول زوجتك
بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع (2/ 229)
وَأَمَّا رُكْنُ النِّكَاحِ فَهُوَ الْإِيجَابُ وَالْقَبُولُ.
