Dear all,
Today, all of us speak of progressive ideas and management. So, having a couple work in the same company when both are well-qualified and excellent performers should not be a deterrent, provided they are not in a position to influence each other's evaluation, increments, or be favorable in any way to one another.
Today's employment contract or the new employment contract clearly states the company's viewpoint on office romances and cases of it ending in wedlocks or even about couples already married. When policy statements are clear and correctly worded, there is no scope for ambiguity to creep in. Ultimately, it is purely the management's decision to let the couple work or not.

Dear Ravi,
Of course, husbands and wives can work and are working in the same organization. I have live examples. My brother-in-law and his spouse are working in Reliance Energy. Yes, their departments are divergent but the company is identical.
There is no legal binding; actually, companies ensure that their work should not suffer just because of the same. If your spouse is junior to you, you will have a soft corner for him/her, and most of the time, you will not be able to scold him/her even for mistakes.

I think it is totally dependent on the policies of the company in question. As far as I know, certain companies do not encourage such things because it might not be in the interest of the company. It might even create differences among the employees of the company.

As per my views, both husband and wife can work in the same company but not in the same department. If one of them is not doing the job properly, it may affect the other. Additionally, if both are in the same department, it may lead to ego problems or even attitude issues.

Hi Ravi,
If it is in the policies of the organization not to, then you need to follow it. But in the current scenario where marriages happen within the employees of the same organization, I think it will be demotivating to others if an action is taken against it. This needs to be mentioned before the employee joins the firm. Yes, there are negatives about productivity going down and so on, but considering their past performance, maybe you can give them a second chance/warning. But if the demerits of both being in the same firm persist, then you can take action against non-performance, not because they are working in the same firm. But again, this should not seem personal; it has to happen within the laws of the organization.

There is no problem if both are working in the same organization. In my case, we both are working in the same organization with different designations. We know our roles and responsibilities, and in the office, we are also just like any other staff members. That's all. We do our best for our organization.
