Yes you can leave home at 16 but you can not marry in England and Wales until you are 18 without your parents permission. That is the law, however I and probably your parents know differently. A boy and more so a girl of 17 years of age is a much different person to one of 21 years of age you will change so much over the next 4 or 5 years that it is likely that you will not even want to know your current love by then. There are exceptions but they are very rare and neither of you know if you will be that fortunate. In any long term relationship there are problems and disagreements which can not be foreseen by your parents yourselves or anyone else other than they know they will arise. So whilst I look kindly upon your wishes I would suggest that at 17 you can not and do not know if you should settle for this person as your lifelong partner. I know I will not get ten points for this, but I assure you it is an honest answer.

Yes they are able to decide. Might not be the correct decision in the long run, or it could be a great decision.
