The Aunt's Exposure to Her Brother's Daughter's Children and Her Husband

Question
Is the husband of the brother's daughter considered a mahram? Are the children of the brother's daughter and the children of the sister's daughter considered mahrams? Is it permissible for the aunt to uncover her head and greet them?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The husband of the niece is not considered a mahram, unlike the children of the niece and sister, who are mahrams. It is permissible for her to greet and uncover in front of mahrams, and God knows best.
