Court marriage in India, as you call it is solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 all such marriages can take place between any two Indian citizens as well one Indian citizen with a foreigner irrespective of their religion, caste or creed, and you can say this is the secular form of marriage available in our country. Such a marriage is solemnized before the marriage officer/registrar usually D.C. deputy commissioner of the area (Sub registrar/SDM is the marriage officer/registrar only in case the already solemnized marriage under any other Act has to be registered) where both or any of the parties to such a marriage reside permanently or for at least one month. Cost of such a marriage is merely Rs90/- or as the rate prevalent in your area. Now how you proceed? Both the parties to the marriage file a joint application before the marriage officer along with individual affidavit attested by notary public specifying the age(boy 21yrs &girl 18yrs), place of residence, marital status(unmarried or divorcee as the case maybe), mental status(not idiot or not with unfit mind), not related to each other. Along with this you have to give proof of age (School certificate, Passport, Pan card), proof of residence (Passport, ration card, voters ID card, rent agreement), & the application of such a marriage should be witnessed by 3 independent adult persons, affix one photograph of each of the parties & all the 3 witnesses. You have made such an application/notice to the marriage officer in person along with all the 3 witnesses. On receiving such an application the marriage officer issues a month notice regarding the intended marriage & get such a notice affixed on the notice board out side his office, a copy of such notice is sent to the marriage officer under whose jurisdiction the other party lives, also a copy is to the individual parties address. After expiry of the period of notice a date is fixed on which all the persons parties to the marriage & 3 witnesses appear again before the marriage officer who declare them married & issue a certificate to this regard. Incase of any objections raised the marriage officer will settle these objections. Now what can be objections that can be raised? These can ONLY BE REGARDING THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR SUCH MARIAGE & NOTHING ELSE. What are the conditions? As I stated above i.e. Age, martial status, mental status, prohibited relationship (related to each other by blood). This is the brief procedure I have told you here, incase you want any clarification you can ask.

To get married at 16 or 17 you would need your parents permission OR a court order to allow you to marry at that age. Usually parents must sign the parental permission form in front of a court officer when you go to apply for a marriage license, that does not mean that you are getting the courts permission, only that the courts are witnessing your parents giving their permission. If they were not available, or refused, you would have to petition the court for permission to get married at that age. A court judge is usually not involved in giving permission, but the court clerk is just there to witness your parents signatures on a document.

The legal age for marriage is 18 for female and 21 for male.
Courts dont perform marriages you have to get married as per your personal law. If you are hindu you can get married in Arya samaj they will register your marriage on the spot and give you a marriage certificate which is legal proof of marriage. This will save you the expense and trouble of going to the office of sub registrar to marry under the Special Marriage Act.

It depends on what state you live in. Usually you have to be 18 or older, but I think if you are emancipated (independent from your parents) you can do it as well. Look online for a place where you can get a marriage license (usually courthouse) and see if you can have the ceremony there also (takes 5 minutes). You also need money to pay for fees, depending on the state.

you need to call the courthouse for the proper answers to your questions, b/c each state has somewhat different marriage laws.
