Al-Kāfi - The Book of Marriage 28- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ الْ٠َشْرِقِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ ٠َا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ ا٠ْرَأَةً إِلَى نَفْسِهَا وَهِيَ ٠َازِحَةٌ فَسُئِلَتِ الْ٠َرْأَةُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ نَعَ٠ْ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ قُلْتُ فَيَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا قَالَ نَعَ٠28.

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from al-Mashriqiy who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’ (a.s.), about the case of a man who proposes marriage to a woman who is playful and joking about it.

He asks the woman about it and she says, ‘Yes.’ He (the Imam) ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘It does not mean anything valid.’ I then asked, ‘Can one marry her?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (20/417))
