Is boycotting one's maternal aunt due to differences in customs and traditions considered a severing of kinship ties, and will Allah hold one accountable for that?

An aunt holds the status of a mother, and she has a right to be shown kindness and maintain kinship ties. Differences in customs and traditions or the occurrence of some problems do not justify severing ties with her. The questioner must strive to maintain kinship ties with her aunt. As long as she lives outside the country, maintaining contact can be done through phone calls or electronic messages. Abandoning contact with her and severing kinship ties is a sin that necessitates sincere repentance.
