That's not true at all. In some states a 13 year old can get married if the have court approval (vanishingly unlikely but besides the point), but that contradicts your original flagrantly ridiculous claim that "all teenagers are old enough to marry". All 18 year olds are old enough to get married, they don't need any permission. Some 16 year olds are if they have permission, but 16 year olds are not in general old enough to get married if they need permission. So your claim was wrong I am afraid to have to break to you.

That's not how marriage works. If I didn't need any permission to get married, I'd be married.

Who is stopping you from getting married then? Unless you're being so obnoxious as to say, you ackshully need the permission of the person you're getting married to, which if you're remotely sensible is a given in this conversation?
