Since Martine is a clone created and programmed to fulfill Nathan’s desire for a servile wife, it’s dubious whether she could actually consent to sex with him or not.

Not mutilation, but there’s a very descriptive passage about performing surgery on a clone to create an eyelid scar.

One could argue that both Evelyn and Martine go through a lot of psychological torture while figuring out who Nathan is and dealing with it together. Evelyn’s father was clearly causing serious harm in her childhood home. There are also implications that some torture may have happened off-page to characters who are now dead.

I would say that the relative sanity of any of the major characters isn’t relevant to their violent behavior, at least as much as the narrative seems to care. I don’t remember any of them having canon diagnoses. Clearly several of them are traumatized, but much of the violence is self-defense.
SPOILERS
There is a serial killer but I don’t remember him having any kind of diagnosis, he just ends up fixated on something and takes it WAY too far.

The main character got an abortion when she was younger and she never regrets it. Her at the time partner/later husband is very upset about it, but his opinions/later actions are clearly portrayed as being his own and not condoned by the narrative.
