HELP. Is there anyway that anyone can get married in ontario at the age of 16 without parents permission and if not then where would it be legal to get married at 16 without parents permission?

Why the rush to get married? If you are in love and want to be with this person forever then why not wait until you are both old enough to get married without parental permission and can support yourselves?

We Are In A Rush Because This Will Be The Only Way We Can See Each Other. Our Parents Have Just Forbidden Us To Be Dating Let Alone See Each Other So If We Get Married Without Them Knowing Then They Can't Stop Us And We Will Legally Be Allowed To See Each Other

Why do your parents not want you to see each other?

Good move.
This will only lead to both of you being DISOWNED by your parents!!
So you are happy NEVER to talk or interact with them ever again??

If you get married you both will be emancipated from your parents. Do you guys have enough money to live on your own? You would need enough money for rent, food, electric bills, gas bills, to pay for heat, telephone, television, cable. Those things together can cost over $1,000 a month. Do you guys have enough money to do that right now?

My Parents Would Never Disown Me No Matter What I Do They Already Said That And His Parents He Doesn't Care About But They Wouldn't Disown Him Either Just Both Of Them Would Be Upset. And Our Parents Just Won't Let Us See Each Other We Don't Know Y But We Love Each Other. We Love Each Other Too much To Just Leave Each Other So Where Would It Be Legal To Do This At 16?

Sometimes even when it doesn't seem rational, parents do have great sense. Being married to someone just in spite of parents not approving, is no reason to get married.In other words - it sounds you are just wanting to marry so you don't have to NOT see each other. Not to be negative, why hurry - making that big of a decision at 16 is actually really scary. Think things through!

I Know All This And We Do Love Each Other Through Thick And Thin There's No Second Thought About That And We Are Ready. If This Doesn't Work Than We Might Have To Look To The Alternative. Wich Would Be Children It Would Be Scray But We Would Give Anything To Be Together..

This is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Again do you have money to raise a child and live in your own home and pay bills? You won't be able to be married at 16 and still live at home with mommy and daddy. You will have to live on your own with your new 16 year old husband and find a place to live and have bills to pay. Where do you think you will get that money? I highly doubt your parents will support this therefore the two of you will have to figure out where to get money every month to pay bills.
A child will not solve anything. That is the most selfish thing I've ever heard. You would bring a child into this world to force your parents to allow you to see your boyfriend? That kind of thinking PROVES that you are WAY too immature to be dating, to be married, to be having or to have a child.
Where would you get money to cover all these costs?

Wow... personally speaking you are sounding irrational right now. Love is one thing, but real love lasts, and if you have to go 2 years without seeing each other, if its real love, you both will be waiting.

And Our Parents Just Wont Let Us See Each Other We Dont Know Y But We Love Each Other. We Love Each Other To Much To Just Leave Each Other So Where Would It Be Legal To Do This At 16?
Do you really think we don't see through this? Your parents haven't explained why they don't want you to see each other? I don't believe that for a second!
NO PLACE is going to allow you marry underage without parental consent or establishing residency. So if you were to find someplace to where you could marry, you would have to run away and live there first.
Glinda has made a good point about how do you expect to support yourselves? You obviously aren't thinking clearly enough. And that shows you aren't ready for marriage. There is also a lot you haven't said, like whether you both are 16 or how long you have known each other.
