When someone asks "can", they might technically be asking is it chal,
but the way people speak, intending "may" is just as common. I was
suggesting that subsequent confusion might create an issur; leaving the
question of whether such shelichus is possible.

A person must be in the inyan in general in order to be a shaliach. IOW,
a man can only be a shaliach leqabalah because a man could in theory
accept qiddushin for his daughter who is a qetanah. (At least, that's
