What are the functions of a labia?
There are two sets of labia - the labia majora and the labia minora. The labia majora protect the genitalia that lie within them. The labia minora secrete chemicals that lubricate the genitalia and that kill bacteria to prevent infection.
What are the causes of hypertrophy of labia minora?
The size, color and texture of labia vary from woman to woman. There is no 'normal' standard because of genetics. It would be like asking what is the cause for a long nose. However, friction from various activities, both sexual and non sexual can effect the size, color and texture of both the labia majora and labia minora. This is why some women have very small pale labia and others have very large, protruding, heavily textured/wrinkled labia.

While some women have very small labia minora that are not visible between the labia majora, others have labia so large they not only protrude but hang down from between the labia majora. It is worth mentioning that in many cultures larger labia are considered attractive, the larger the labia the more appealing the woman is considered.

What are the causes why do women's inner labia get so large. Does it mean she's no longer a virgin?
It's when a woman is "turned on" that it becomes enlarged. More blood flow to the area causes the swelling. Arousal can enlarge a woman's inner AND outer (more common) labia. There is more. However, the questioner didn't ask why labia are enlarged during sex. Labia will get larger as a girl goes through puberty. A girl will appear to have no labia, or exceptionally small labia until puberty. Depending on genetics and nationality, women's inner labia have been measured at 1 inch, outer labia have been measured to be as long as three inches, unaroused. Also, it is accepted practice in many cultures for women to stretch their labia by attaching weights. This practice is becoming more common in western society. Devices are sold on the web for stretching labia. Oral sex can elongate labia, too, if the person sucks and stretches the labia regularly. In the U.S. a small number of women have their labia surgically reduced in size, but recent evidence suggests that more women and their partners prefer longer labia because of the sexual stimulation provided to the male and female. Some believe this is all part of an increased focus on females being more interested in sexual gratification during sex , i.e.; over 50% of women 40% of men from 18 to 45 report shaving all or most of their pubic hair to enhance sexual arousal, improved cleanliness and because of how bare genitals can enhance fore play and arousal..

Average size of human vulva?
The average lenght of the pudendal cleft, from where the labia joins above the clitoris to where they join again above the anus on the perineum is about 8cm. Some women have a longer pudendal cleft but above 10cm is unusual. The thickness of the labia majora varies but average is about 2 to 4cm. These will normally covered by hair. The labia minora are sometimes hidden between the labia majora but often hangs down below the outer labia. This is normal and the average length would be around 0,5 to 2,5cm. Some African women practice stretching, age old practice of pulling their labia minora, this can increase the size to as big as 12cm on either side. The clitoris is about 0,5 to 3,5cm long but up to 7cm have been reported. These were mostly on females with high testosterone levels and bodybuilders who use anabolic steroids. The depth of the vagina is on average between 5 to 8cm deep when relaxed and can "tent" to between 8 and 13cm when the female becomes sexually aroused. This will be average for a young woman in her twenties who has not given natural birth. These dimensions are averages and as penis size varies in size, the size of female genitalia also varies. No big difference was found in genital size based on race. The biggest factor for variations in size was due to childbirth.
