Is the questioner considered a severer of kinship ties if she does not visit her paternal uncles in their homes, knowing that they did not attend her wedding, did not congratulate her, and do not visit her, while she meets them and greets them in other places?

We advise you not to hold your relatives accountable for their actions, but rather to reciprocate their treatment with kindness and visit them. The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who merely reciprocates, but the one who, when his ties are severed, reconnects them. May Allah be your helper and supporter as long as you persist in this.

Your meeting them at your grandmother's and father's houses and greeting them does not make you a severer of kinship ties. The minimum level of maintaining ties is to abandon estrangement and to connect through speech, even if only with a greeting. It is desirable to be keen on visiting them, because visiting is considered by custom to be a form of maintaining ties. Scholars have explicitly stated that maintaining ties of kinship can be through visiting, giving gifts, assisting with actions and words. The minimum of this is to greet them in person, or to send greetings if they are far away, or to send a written message. There is no specific timing for maintaining ties; rather, what is considered is the customary practice.
