Answer : Dear Deepti,
No one can force you to marry someone you don't want to marry specially since you are a mature woman. You need to let your uncle know that you do appreciate his care and concern for you however you cannot marry him because you can never see him in the light of anything but an uncle. You should probably confide in some family elders and let them know how you feel about the situation.
If you are sure about what you want be firm and stick to your guns. Let them know that you are not willing to be persuaded or convinced. At the same time you can express your appreciation for your uncles concern about your well being and finances. Don't let anyone push you into something you don't want!
