Intending to marry in secret due to financial and immigration issues

I have been engaged for a few months and my family wants me and my fiance to get married in 2012 after i finish my degree. we both live in australia alone. But due to financial issues we are planning to move in together and get married in the mosque or have an urfi marriage (as we are different nationalities and the paper work to get the marriage registered is a major headache).

I am 17 and I want an Urfi marriage, am I doing the right thing?

Salam, me and my partner are both practicing muslims, and we have decided that we want to get married. I am 17yrs old, am I old enough to get married in the eyes of Islam? The second problem is I am pakistani and my partner is Bengali so we don’t want our parents to know as they would refuse, so we thought we could get an Urfi marriage, we understand that no record of the marriage will be kept, and after a few months we will make it official. In the eyes of Islam is this acceptable? And is it possible to do this in Bangladesh?
