It makes sense to me.
When a minor's parents allow them to get married. They must sign papers, and approve the marriage.
You must be at least 18 to get married without parental consent. There is no place in North America and most of Europe that will allow you to get married younger without it. Some places might allow marriage with a court order, but they don't often grant the request.
There is no state that will allow 15-year-olds to get married without parental consent/court approval/special circumstances. Many state wouldn't allow it at all.
It will not be recognized as a marriage for legal purposes, which means the spouse doesn't get the benefits of being married. Without a marriage certificate there is no health insurance, no joint filing of taxes, no inheritence or property rights. The church probably won't allow it either, they have to obey the law as well.
Most states will allow you to get married with the proper parental consent. However, I do not know of any state that will allow you to get married at seventeen without parental consent.

Not unless you get a court order that will allow it.
All of them. And most of them allow 18 year olds to get married without permission.

No state will allow a minor (under 16) to EVER get married without parental consent. No one is ready for marriage at age 15! No state will allow a minor (under 16) to EVER get married without parental consent. No one is ready for marriage at age 15!
Most states will allow it as young as 16. A few will allow it under special circumstances without permission.
