How should one advise relatives about observing the limits of aurat during Eid gatherings in the village, while still respecting the feelings of older family members?

Summary

Covering the aurat is obligatory for both men and women, and deliberately looking at another person's aurat is also forbidden. Deliberately exposing the aurat among cousins, in-laws and spouses' siblings is a wrongdoing that must be prevented with wisdom according to one's ability: by authority over younger siblings and nieces or nephews, or by verbal advice to relatives of similar age. Suggested methods include asking an influential family member to advise, separating spaces and installing barriers between men and women, sending reminders in the family WhatsApp group, raising the topic in conversation, and gifting modest clothing.
