Will hurmat-e-musaaharah be established if a woman was touched without lust?

Q: If a person touches a woman intentionally but there is no lust before and after, is hurmat-e-musaaharah established?

If a person touches a woman intentionally but there is no lust, can he marry her daughter?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
