Well legally, no one can stop you from getting married with him, as both of you are 18 + and mature! You can get married in Court along with three Witnesses or before the concerned Registrar of Marriages under Special Marriage Act after seeking Police Protection from Court!

Every adult has the fundamental right to choose their life partner, irrespective of religion, under Article 21 of the Constitution (Right to Life and Personal Liberty). Your uncle or family cannot force you into marriage or harass you for your personal choices. If your uncle is threatening or mentally harassing you or your boyfriend, this may amount to criminal intimidation (Section 503 IPC) and harassment. You may file a police complaint or seek protection from the local authorities. You can also approach the court for protection under Article 226 by filing a writ petition in the High Court. Forced marriage is illegal, and any attempt to marry you off without your consent is a violation of your rights.
