They won't deprive your citizenship if you divorce so long as there was no fraud, e.g. You were already married etc...

Amber is right. Your wife can't have your BC revoked as long as you were married at the time of your application. What happens to your relationship afterwards isn't relevant.

After having ILR - Your are separate entity - its nothing to do with your spouse.

Only you can apply citizenship being 3 years in UK on behalf of your spouse.

Otherwise you can apply citizenship without need of your spouse.
