The answer

There is no impediment to completing the marriage. Touching a non- woman with desire, without intercourse, does not lead to the prohibition of marriage according to the majority of jurists (Malikis, Shafi'is, and the relied-upon opinion among Hanbalis). However, the Hanafis hold that touching a woman with desire prohibits her daughter and mother [from marriage], because it is a cause leading to intercourse. But the touching must be with a recognized desire (erection or increase in erection) and looking at the inner private parts. As for ejaculation by touching, it does not necessitate prohibition.
