The easiest way is to get your parent's permission. You could try for emancipation, but chances are that by the time you accomplish that, you will be 18.

In Utah, you can marry, with the consent of your parents or guardians before you reach 18 years of age. If your parents will not consent, it may be easiest to simply wait one month until you are emancipated and no consent is necessary for you to enter into a marriage contract. The other alternative would be to file an action to be declared emancipated prior to your 18th birthday.
