Q: I got a proposal from a good, religious man. Ten years ago he once touched my mothers hand with a sinful/lustful intention not more than that. And my mom did not get to know about his intentions. He immediately repented and did not do that again. At that time he didn't know that he will be proposing to me.
If I marry this person, will our marriage be valid or not. It happened ten years ago. Also, now everyone knows that I'm getting married to him and it's so hard to leave each other and to convince our families.
A: If he touched her hand with lust then hurmat musaaharah has become established. Hence, he cannot marry you. If he marries you, the nikaah will not be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
