Does a girl need her father’s permission to get married?

A girl became Shia so her parents removed her from their house. In this case, is she considered free to marry without the permission of the wali?

A virgin girl who has reached the age of religious obligation (buloogh) and is capable of determining what is in her interest is free to choose her legitimate spouse, yet because she is not in charge of her life’s affairs, her guardian’s consent is required if she wishes to get married. Even if she is in charge of her life’s affairs, she must obtain her guardian’s consent based on obligatory precaution. However, if her guardian (father or paternal grandfather) refrains from taking charge of her affairs, especially marriage, then she is permitted to get married without his consent.
