No, there is no place in the bible where it says that if a man grabs hold of your junk he is to be punished by having his junk cut off or seized, without pity.Yes, it is there.
It's not there now is it???
Lev 24
19 If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.
No it is not! Grabbing someone's junk is not disfigurement at all. You are being deceitful in your attempt to cover this.

So you equivocate a girl touching your junk as a serious injury such that you would lose the ability to reproduce? Wildly unlikely, guys get hit there all the time and still manage to have kids. Besides, the verse says nothing about grave bodily injury, it only implies sufficient pain to help her husband escape the man's attack, which would be minimal, as a man quickly loses focus when someone has a hand on his junk.
Furthermore, the verse does not make note or exception to the cause of the altercation with the husband. If the attacker were a criminal bent on doing evil to the husband, the wife would still lose her hand, Is that fair?
Even if she did affect his ability to reproduce, the loss of her hand as a punishment is barbaric and unjust. We would never allow such a thing in our US courts because of the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments. Today we know that if you want to be unmolested, don't go around attacking people. There is no need to dream up misogynistic punishments.
