Did pharaoh take Sarai to wife?

Genesis 12:18-20
18......And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19......Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20......And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

NIV
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!

ASV
19 why saidst thou, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

CSB
19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!

HCSB
19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!

I have always heard and taught that Abraham and Sarai was sent away before any physical relationship took place based from the KJV. Although, it is curious that Abraham received manifold gifts and plagues took place. It makes me wonder if pharaoh did indeed take Sarai to wife unknowingly? Has anyone had any research on this?
