There is no objection to a man marrying his paternal uncle's or maternal uncle's deceased or divorced wife after her (waiting period) has ended. They are considered non- to him unless there is a kinship or suckling relationship that necessitates prohibition. This is similar to his marriage to his brother's wife.
