In the United States, you must be 18 (19 in Nebraska, 21 in Mississippi) to get married without parental permission. In most states you can get married at 16 with parental permission. Younger than 16 is typically going to require a court order, which the judges really don't like to grant or a doctor's certificate showing that they are pregnant or already have a child. (In California to get married at 14 requires parental consent, a counseling session and appearance before a judge!)
There are actually quite a few states where it is possible, but in most of those states parental consent isn't enough. You would need to: obtain a court order, a written consent from a family court judge, a waiver from a superior court justice or approval from a District Court. It's not easy to do so and is usually only permitted under special circumstances.

States that permit marriage at age 14 with parental and/or judicial consent:
So only North Carolina only requires parental consent - and even then only in cases where the girl is already pregnant or has had the baby. 3 states apparently allow it with just judicial consent - but common sense dictates that it would normally also require parental consent to get the judicial consent.
There are very few countries in the world where marriage is legal at 14 even with parental consent - although it still takes place in areas like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan where it it technically against the law.
