Question

If a brother touches his real married sister with lust, does it effect it her relationship with her husband and what about the relation between brother and sister?

Answer

It will not affect the relationship, but both of them should make taubah and maintain a reasonable distance from each other.

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