Accepted answer

No one deserves to marry a person who does not want them. If you agree without conviction, you will make both yourself and her suffer.

I refused a marriage within the family, and it was difficult. But marrying without conviction would have caused a far greater disaster. Tell your family calmly, 'I want her to be happy with someone else.'
