1. Bring up a new topic

If your mother or your elder brother asks you this question, do not make them know that you don't like the pressure they are putting on you to get married. 

Dodge such questions by bringing up a new topic. For instance, you can switch to your employment issues. "Dad, on Monday I will be attending an interview and if I become successful, I will be promoted", tell him, this is important and he will listen.

2. Shift and move to another activity

Sometimes it might feel bad, but let your action speak for you. Walk away and they will understand that you are not comfortable with their increased pressure on your personal life. 

If it was on a dinner table and everyone is looking at you, distract their attention with anything that you have at hand.

3. Make it clear that you are being frustrated

Be open with anyone who is asking you such questions that you do not like the way they are meddling with your private life. 

Make it known that you might not be ready yet and probably you are still planning. This will ease the tension and I don't think you will ever hear such questions at all.

4. Talk to other family members who understand you

There are other family members who are understanding your case. When you tell them that you still are not ready to start a family, they can talk to the other relatives who are very much interested in your life.
