Detention and removal proceedings only started in July, several months after OP got married in March or April. OP cannot then be accused of marrying just to avoid deportation. The problem is the failure to adjust status before removal proceedings.
OP now needs to hire a lawyer, file the I-130, have removal proceedings terminated in front of the immigration judge as OP has a pathway to permanent residence or citizenship via the wife. Once removal is terminated, only then can the adjustment of status be adjudicated by USCIS.

No he fell out status in March, then married his girlfriend in March before the removal proceedings in July. If he had filed concurrently in March he wouldn't be here today. He has yet to file the I-130.
@ OP I'm sorry you are in this situation. You need a good lawyer, file the I130 ASAP and take it from there as your lawyer advises. You won't be able to continue school until your legal status is established. Chances are the F1 reapplication will be denied - the last one expired + you are in removal proceedings. Please get a good lawyer before taking further steps.
