Do my family's actions toward me count as injustice that warrants punishment from Allah, and what should I do to solve the problem of my unwillingness to marry and have intercourse after the erroneous circumcision, and is there a solution to my problem?

Female circumcision is permissible. It involves cutting a small portion of the skin that resembles a rooster's comb, located above the urinary meatus. The Sunnah is not to cut it all, and the benefit should be considered in this regard, as Abu Dawud narrated from Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah: "Do not cut excessively, for that is better for the woman and more pleasing to the husband." As for cutting the clitoris and labia, it is a wrong action resulting from ignorance, not intent. Spouses can engage in intercourse and enjoy intimacy even with what has been mentioned, and sexual desire is related to hormones, not the shape of the external genitalia.
