Hence to conclude following points can be noted:

Marriage was not forced rather it was the decision of Safiyya to marry the Prophet PBUH when she was given the option. Consummation of marriage was not immediate. She is the mother of all believers loved and respected by all muslims. She remained loyal to prophet PBUH and Islam until her death.
