Sounds like you've already read the whole book. I'm only basing my judgment on the first four chapters, so if the chain marriage gets into more detail later on, I can't make any judgment on that.
From what I gathered it was the second most senior she slept with instead, and only because she was biologically related to the most senior husband.
Otherwise everything you've said seems relatively reasonable.
I've read Door To Summer, Space cadet, Red Planet, Farmer in the sky, and Between Planets, which i gather were aimed at a younger audience and thus avoid sexual discussions.
