In S2 (before S2E4) someone's sister is almost forced to a marriage. She is rescued by someone else. S2E6: Marital rape on-screen (I think ~16:00 but I can't be sure). The husband is a prick so you might want to consider skipping the whole episode. Overall, most of the female characters have either been somehow abused or they're (sexualised) witches. The rescue trope is used quite a lot. If you don't like that narrative, consider not watching the show.

In S1E1 a child is kept as a slave. Another child's eye is taken out as a punishment. During the baptism, a kid is held fully under the water for a long time and they struggle to breathe during it.

Graphic split second visual of someone getting an axe to the head.
Not so much as "squashed" as it kind of explodes.
The entire battle of this episode has a fair amount of head trauma.
S4:E5 also shows a character (who has been mortally wounded in the head in the previous episode). He is murdered by another character who turns his head bandage into a tourniquet and crushes his already fractured skull. As far as visual, it shows blood pooling in the whites of the eyes, but the audio is arguably more graphic.

A younger character is attacked off screen.
It is made clear both by a giant blood stain, and by verbal context throughout the season, that he has been maliciously castrated.

S1E1 during the kidnapping scene the woman spits at the guy. S1E2 19:50 someone spits towards someone else. I doubt there's any actual spit, however there is an audio. They do it as a gesture to show disrespect. S2E3 ~18:10 someone spits towards someone else.

S5E8&9 Although no attempt is made this could be triggering. A character does contemplate suicide while looking outside of a window over a cliff. It is not done out of mental health reasons, it is so that she could escape a potential unwanted marriage.
