Sai was not thinking properly with a clear mindset initially. She wasn't ready to even entertain the idea of marriage. She had clearly decided no without thinking practically of the alternative. When Virat refused to runaway, he in a way forced her to clear her mind. It is then when she started to think realistically. Hence all those questions came out that why he wants to marry when he doesn't love her. If she wasn't thinking about marrying him, she wouldn't have taken the discussion any further.
Sai then relented, gave her consent, which is why all that talk of going away after studies are completed happened. Her circumstances forced her, yes, but ultimately she herself consented to the marriage. If she hadn't changed her mind till end, then I am 100% sure Virat would not have gone against her wishes.
I would also like to point out that Sai is not some meek, submissive character who will marry solely because she was forced to marry. If she didn't want to marry she wouldn't have gone ahead with the ceremony. She has herself said she always does what she thinks is right.
As to the physical intimacy thing, I don't know when tried to be intimate with her, especially without her consent. (I am only watching clips on IG nowadays, not full episodes, so speaking from my limited knowledge)
