There is no place in the US (or North America) that you can get married without parental consent at an age younger than 18.
And its for a reason. way too young and naive at that age no matter how sure you "KNOW" you are.
The above is incorrect. Most of the states allow the two to go before a judge, and, provided they meet some state-specific conditions, the judge can grant them permission to marry, EVEN if the parents of one or both object.
The conditions which will allow a judge to grant this petition vary by state, so you'll have to look them up in your specific state. Typical reasons are: pregnancy, parental abuse, parental neglect, parental incarceration or commitment for mental conditions, severely unstable familial conditions, etc. The two will also likely have to show they are reasonably responsible people able to take care of themselves without parental support. This can also be shown by one set of parents voluntarily committing to help support the couple (in the case where only one set of parents object).
I think that 16 and 18 is way too young to get married! You should wait till your 23+. Well i spose that's my opinion. You might not like being with this guy. You might think u r happy with him, but u should just wait. Im 16 and im dating a guy the same age. I love him with all of my heart and he is moving 45 minutes away from me, and he only lives nextdoor. Its good to have a bf living next door but its very upsetting when u find out he's moving. I would luv to marry him but my mother would go off her nut if she found out we wanted to get married. I think i should wait a few yrs bcoz we might have a fallen out and decide to go in separate directions and find someone who we really wanna be with for the rest of our lives.

There is no place in North America where a 16 year old can get married without parental consent. You might be able to go to Africa, but if he takes you out of the country, there are a whole number of other problems, like kidnapping to worry about. Shucks, if he takes you across the state line without parental permission he's in trouble.
