Sort of. A step-father abandons a step-son.
Spoiler:
It's mentioned that Robin's anger towards his father being with another woman after his mother's death is what drove his father to abandon that relationship. This woman had a son who he basically abandoned as well. Turns out this boy was Will Scarlett and this fuels Will's hatred of Robin.

Probably not a belt, but most likely a whip. Will Scarlett's abdomen is shown covered in bloody whip scars after he returns from being captured by the Sheriff. The beating itself is not seen.

I’m not sure what the person that voted yes is referencing. Children, along with the rest of their families, are starved and forced into the woods but it is clearly meant as an abuse of power against the people and not child abuse.

The Sheriff and his witch discuss "taking" Marian. This is a euphamism for raping her in an effort to impregnate her so she can produce an heir.
The Sheriff's cousin says to Marian that she's fortunate that Robin and Azeem, who she refers to as thieves, didn't "steal her virtue" along with as her horses.

The witch superficially slices her forearm with her sharp finger nails so the blood can be used in a divination ritual.

Azeem says the baby can't be born without help and asks for items such as a needle, thread, water, etc. You don't see what he does, but you hear Fanny screaming inside the tent. Then the baby is held up and is crying and appears healthy. Fanny also appears to be fine.

The two main characters that could be classified as fat (though neither one is very large- just larger than the people around them) are both played for jokes. One is an alcoholic who is always after a drink and the other is a woman. Any time she behaves as if someone may be attracted to her people seem uncomfortable and even awkwardly laugh. When it’s revealed that she was lying about her identity everyone is relieved that the real character is more conventionally pretty and skinny. Another woman that may be considered fat is often dismissed but that is more because she is a woman than because she is fat.

There are rumors spread by the Sheriff and others that Robin's father worshipped the devil, in part because he criticized the forceful spread of Christianity via the Crusades.
There are several extended scenes that take place in a church with an accompanying Catholic-style church service and typical acts of worship.
There is a lot of religious (mostly Christian) symbolism throughout the movie. Crucifixes, rosaries, eucharist, vestments, etc. There's also a brief shot of the Islamic Cresent above Azeem's hut. He is also seen praying to Mecca, refers to Allah on several occasions, and greets a young child with a salaam salutation.
Azeem repeatedly refers to Robin as "Christian" as if it's his name instead of just his religion.
