If you're really that committed to her you can wait till she's legal and on her own.
I hate to stick up for the parents here because they do sound like they're being a bit unreasonable, but she is only 16 and most 16-year-olds I know (including myself at that age) don't always have the best judgment. She's got a lot of life ahead of her and you can't blame them for wanting to protect her a little bit and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid that might jeopardize her happy future.
Also consider the consequences of pissing her family off if you do end up in a long-term relationship with this girl. Nothing can make your life so hellish as in-laws (or the non-married equivalent) who hate your guts.
