Is it legal for a forgienor to marry an america to become a legal citizen?

Is there usually a high rate of devorce do to that fact that after they otain there citizenship, they devorce the american?
Answer:
There are strict immigration laws related to "sham" marriages, and how long you have to be married before you can get a divorce and retain your citizenship (although claims of domestic violence / slavery / abuse have changed this legal analysis).

It's also fairly difficult to get your citizenship through marriage, especially if you get married overseas. I know that my friend had to live apart from her Spanish/British husband for over a year while his visa papers were pending.
Yes it is legal and the divorce rate is probably lower then the average.
No it is illegal if that is the sole purpose of the marriage, I think they call this sham marriages.
