I think at this point after the rattan singh incident and sumitra's behaviour, she knows that even if she marries Jagya she will always be unwelcome in the house.
Even if she aspires to marry him, Ganga is a gharelu type and wants to lead a family life in a joint family. She would only marry Jagya if sumitra accepted her as daughter in law unhesitatingly without reservations. She is also sensible and realizes that not only she herself, but even Manu will not be accepted there. She realizes that life with sumitra and co. would be a living hell.
The only option after marriage is then to separate and live a nuclear family of three. That would involve yet again tearing Jagya away from his family, and she has enough loyalty to not do that to the singhs particularly after learning about his past.
So all in all, I think even if she had aspirations, she had the foresight to think a few steps ahead and realize that it just could not be. She made her peace with the situation.
But somehow, I have never found ganga's love to be either emotional or physical or material towards Jagya. It has always been a sort of deep spiritual partnership she feels with him -- that he is the avatar of devi maa in her life. I doubt marriage was on her mind at any given time.
@Bold Red
I completely agree with the statement that she sees something very pure and almost divine in the support she has received and is continuing to receive via Jagya.
I do not think she has EVER assumed Jagya will want to marry her etc. Hero worshipped - YES. Idolised him - YES, lusted for him - a big NO.
@blue
All this is simply conjecture as we have not been privy to her private emotions or her self analysis.
The most we have seen is on the night of his B'day when his out-of-the-blue-rishta with Saanchi was proposed and accepted. That day - YES - she really struggled with herself to keep away her tears and she was trying hard to reason with herself and understand why instead of being happy for him - she was feeling so teary. And on that very day - she had told herself very sternly that this will not do. DoctorSa was her benefactor and nothing more and she had to pull herself together and behave.
In fact when Anandi accosted Ganga with this very fact and her brealkdown in front of LalSingh when she brought in Jagya - Ganga was very clear about how her indebtedness to Jagya and his family is the root cause of her caring and feeling for him. She had never been shown to have even a second's moment of fantasy about being his wife or being accepted/rejected by his family.
