Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, according to the Hanafi Madhab, a mature girl (baligah) has an independent right to get married according to her wish. She does not require the consent of her wali. If the Nikah was conducted in the presence of two male witnesses or one male and two female witnesses, then the Nikah will be valid[1].
You may contact the Imam of your local Masjid, or an Alim in your city to perform the Nikah.
He will guide you in the procedure of the Nikah. Do inform him that your wife has adapted the Hanafi Madhab in which case she does not require a Wali.
