Your mother may pay from Zakat for your aunt, who is unable to afford her treatment expenses, even if her husband owns a lot of money; because her treatment expenses are not obligatory upon him. However, if the husband pays for the treatment expenses, then it is not permissible to pay Zakat to her.
