Now that his mother has said she would stay no matter what he does, he is no longer compelled to do anything for Pallavi to please his mother. Anything he does should and would be for her and for himself. He can break the marriage, file for divorce, etc. but why should he?
Logically, Raghav has no reason not to want to work on this marriage, and it's not about love. Imagine if he had had an arranged marriage, he would have worked on it, right? He would be getting to know his wife and would have been committed to her for life because that's the kind of person he is.
In fact, all the reasons for him not wanting to be married to her are gone with the misunderstanding being cleared. On top of that, not only is he guilt-ridden, but he also realizes what a good person she is. Raghav values good people, we've seen that time and again. He's a shrewd businessman, and even if he can be very emotional and impulsive at times, he realizes that she's wife material, and that she has treated his family, his loved ones, very well so far. He realizes that deal or no deal, he has nothing to lose by having her as his wife, even if in name only to start with.
