The answer

The husband's paternal uncle, maternal uncle, or brother are not considered mahrams, and the wife must observe hijab in front of them. Mahrams are fathers and grandfathers (no matter how high in ascent), and the husband's sons, grandsons, and granddaughters (no matter how low in descent).
