It’s implied during the prologue that the protagonist was abandoned by his father, though the action takes place well after this would have happened.

Historically speaking, yes Maria Reynolds was manipulated and abused so James Reynolds could use her body for money but it's not very present in the move except with the line "My Husband's doin' me wrong, Beatin' me, Cheatin' me, Mistreating me"

It should be noted that many argue Maria Reynolds was basically forced to seduce Alexander by her husband so James Reynolds could blackmail Hamilton. The scene in the movie is her seducing him.

the song "say no to this" involves maria and alexander singing the word "yes" in a way that's meant to sound like moaning. the choreo for this scene involves maria sitting on alexander's lap in a way that's meant to make it clear the two are "havig sex". maria is technically consenting, but it's revealed not long after that her husband is pimping her out.
