The maternal uncle is not among the woman's guardians in her marriage, nor is her maintenance obligatory upon him. Rather, her maintenance is enjoined upon her closest male relatives after her father (such as her brothers and paternal uncles), or it is enjoined upon the husband as part of the dowry.
