The permission to stay might remain in case of seperation, but you might not get a new extension of stay based on marriage as one would not be living with the misses.

Believe immigration requires living together as a condition for this extension of stay and they have made it clear if you do not meet requirements the extension is invalid at that point (signed paperwork I believe it now a requirement that you understand this provision of loss of extension when you fail to meet the requirements). As said if in legal case other extensions may be available.
