Purdah

Woman asking for a divorce because her husband hugs his female cousins

Q: I was married for about a year I asked for a divorce because my husband used to hug his female cousins and cousins wives despite me telling him Islamically it is not right. He accepted it was not right but did not stop and his family defended it because they always did it so basically 'culture'. After the divorce I did my best to guide him but all doors felt close was Allah protecting me? Also will I get sin for asking for a divorce? I ask because his family did not feel its a big issue to get divorced over. 

Purdah between non-mahram males and females

Q: My friend [24f] makes parda from her brother in law [17m]. However her father's first cousins is her husbands maternal uncles and she doesn't make parda from them. Upon telling her she brought the hadith of brother in law being death and said there is no specific ahadith relating to her having to making parda from her husbands mothers brothers therefore she doesn't have to. Is it true?
