Deposit return when the married name hasn’t been added?

Hello, My property was rented to an individual who paid the initial deposit which sits in a holding account. In December last year, we added her new husband to the rental contract and changed contract to new married surname.
We did not amend details on deposit being held.
She has since spit from her husband and moved to another part of the UK but he remains in the house.
She owes £800 in rent and has no intention of paying.
Can I reclaim the original deposit and ask the husband to pay a deposit and change contract into his name?
Thank you,
Paul
