There are rules that are required to be followed :
She can start here:



First and foremost she must be living on the island ( 4 years ) before she can apply.

To External. It's not "living on the island" for 4 years, its living with the Mauritian Spouse under the same conjugal roof for 4 or more years to be eligible to apply for citizenship. And if you get divorced your right to be a citizen can be taken away.

From what I have read on the Home Affairs website it is in fact living in Mauritius:-

"Under section 7 of the Mauritius Citizenship Act, the foreign spouse of a Mauritian citizen may be registered as a citizen of Mauritius, if he/she has resided with his/her spouse under the same conjugal roof in Mauritius for an aggregate period of four years immediately preceding the date of his application."

That's exactly what I said:)
