Bismillah
Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)
Intermingling of sexes is Haraam in Islam. Therefore, one should avoid such places.
We must as Muslims enjoin good and forbid the evil:
Allah Ta’ala says,
“You are the best nation brought forth for the people of the world: you enjoin right and you forbid wrong, and you believe in Allah.” (Qur’an 3/110).
Also Allah Ta’ala says,
“Believing men and believing women are the protecting friends of each other: they enjoin right and they forbid wrong.” (Qur`an 9/71).
Enjoining good & forbidding the evil should be done to the extent of a Muslim individual ability.
“Whoever of you sees wrong being committed, let him change it with his hand (i.e. by force). If he is unable to do that, then with his tongue, and if he is unable to do that, then with his heart.” (Muslim)
Also, to avoid breaking of relations one should explain to their relatives that this is un-Islamic and must be avoided. Ensure this is done with gentleness, calmness and wisdom. Even after this if they refuse and break relation then they will be sinning and going against the words of Allah Ta’ala.
And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
