  1. I actually know the answer to this one.

    In a nutshell, you can get married anywhere you like, including the UK. This does not change your partner's immigration status. If you want your partner to get permanent residence as a spouse, then he/she has to return to their country of origin and make an application, and they will need to prove that it is not a marriage of convenience - which is the reason this rule was introduced in the first place.  Some couples find it easier to go and live in their partner's home country for a year or so: this helps prove the marriage is bonafide. Having a child together helps too.
