Why Lady Kumalia's real identify is Sumika?
Does Lady Kumalia wanted to help Kureha?
Was Lady Kumalia lying about her love towards Kureha (or at least her love was like God's love - God loves all people)?
And why Kureha forgot about Sumika, and fell in love with Ginko so fast?

I am really confused about Lady Kumalia/Sumika <=> Kureha <=> Ginko relationships/stuffs. Any help is appreciated.

It's not explicit, but the version I like best came from (or at least was inspired by) Josei Next Door's explanation:

http://joseinextdoor.tumblr.com/post/115187388510/yurikuma-arashi-recap-review-episode-12-yuri

Summary (as I take it): Kumaria is God, and God is Love. By Sumika showing Kureha love, she was able to understand the true nature of love and all its facets, saving her from both the despair over the loss of her mother and selfishness to assume it was Ginko who had to change. That's why the Judgemens were looking to find out if every defendant's love was the real thing: each was a flawed and incomplete version of love, and as such it had to come with a toll if they wanted their wish to come true. Once Kureha had grown to see how wrong her childhood actions were, she was able to feel true love in all its aspects which allowed Kumalia to reconstitute to grant her wish without any further sacrifice (because her wish was a sacrifice itself).

Maybe Kumaria simply took the form of Sumika as convenient/relevant to Kureha (this is the person she associates most closely with love after all) or you could believe she was a fragment of Kumaria like the Judgemens who was finally restored when all forms of love combined.

It could be that each person gives shape to Kumaria in her own way. Sumika was a beacon and the expression of true love to Kureha.
