Can you being legal and your boyfriend who is illegal with a felony have a legal marriage?

You can certainly have a legal marriage. However, that will not change his status automatically and he could still be deported.

You could find yourself married and have to either abandon the marriage or move to his country of origin.

I want to marry a 17 year old illegal spouse. will she get a green card if i am an American citizen?

The marriage was never legal in the begining therefore it would likely be considered an automatic annulment. For the foreign national to have obtained permanent residency through the marriage, fraudulent acts would have been committed. This means that both parties could be in serious legal trouble and the best option is to consult with an attorney as soon as possible and not take further action until that has been done. Entering into a fraudulent marriage with the purpose of obtaining permanent residency and/or citizeship is a federal felony. If found guilty all involved parties can be prosecuted and incarcerated and/or fined, and the foreign national permanently deported.
