You will probably need to provide more details, including the jurisdiction and the terms of the lease, but generally speaking:

If the lease is in the husband's name only, then after he is evicted there is no valid lease; the wife certainly has no "right" to remain at a property which a) does not belong to her and b) she does not have a valid lease for, and the landlord very definitely has the right to have her evicted or possibly even arrested for trespass if she tries to stay.

If both names are on the lease and the landlord CHOOSES to evict the husband only (IANAL, but this seems somewhat messy to me, and it may or may not be legally enforceable), there's not really a question of "rights": the landlord chose not to force the wife to leave, so it's up to her whether she wants to go with her husband or not.

Can a landlord break a lease because renters are using property in sexually deviant ways?

The simplest answer is no. The tenant has the right to peaceful enjoyment of the property. A more complete answer is .. it depends. If the activity is in any way illegal, then the landlord can likely break the lease. If the activity is a disturbance to others, then it is likely a violation of the lease and enough to have you evicted, or end the lease.
