How can a woman maintain ties of kinship with her male relatives, such as the sons of her paternal aunts and maternal aunts? Is a phone call sufficient for this purpose? And what should she do if her husband refuses her communication with them for the sake of maintaining kinship ties? Is it sufficient to inquire about them through their sisters or wives?

Kinship ties are among the matters that religion has encouraged and desired. The children of paternal uncles and maternal uncles are considered kin whose ties are recommended to be maintained, though not obligatory. The extent of maintaining these ties is determined by custom.

As for maintaining ties with the male children of paternal aunts and maternal aunts, it is conditional upon the husband's knowledge, permission, and consent, because obedience to the husband is obligatory while maintaining these ties is recommended. Thus, the husband's right takes precedence over maintaining ties with them.

The husband should not prevent his wife from visiting and inquiring about her parents, nor should he be lenient regarding his wife's mixing with his male siblings (brothers-in-law), due to the potential for discord that this might lead to.
