UK government's provision about British passport acquisition
On the UK government website, one can be eligible for British citizenship if one has a British parent and in the lady's case, her husband is a Briton.
"British citizenship is normally automatically passed down one generation to children born outside the UK.
"For example, you might automatically become a citizen if you’re born outside the UK to a British parent. But your children will not automatically be citizens if they’re born outside the UK.
"If you’re not automatically a citizen, you may be eligible to apply to ‘register’ as one," further explanation on the website read.
