What is the ruling on not maintaining ties of kinship with paternal aunts who are a cause of family problems and ruin relationships, while committing to maintaining ties with parents despite their harm?

You must maintain ties with your paternal aunt. These ties do not cease merely because she has wronged you. The ties are severed only to the extent of definite harm if it results from her. It is advisable to attempt reconciliation and forget the past.
