How would you get a court order from a judge for two 16-year-olds to get married?

The only way that I know of that two 16 year olds can get married is through parental consent. I know you can be emancipated at age 17 and if you're emancipated you can get married. I'm not sure how all that would work. I would go to your local court house to find out how to be emancipated and what you can do when you are. Be prepared though, generally they require you to be able to support yourself before you can be emancipated. That means your own place, food, money, job, and still maintain going to school. I'd look into it though.
