Yh well OP clearly was aware of deception when application was made, which raises red flags. As you were in on the deception. Now that you don't want to live with your spouse, you're conveniently digging up things, to get their visa curtailed. Not a good way to go.

Best thing, is to get an annulment.

Congratulations, well done!!!
You are very lucky

If you have a international fee free card like Starling Bank. I would advise this, as the currency conversion fee for a normal UK bank will be like £100+ which your bank will charge for paying in international currencies
