Greetings Saritha,
As a general guideline it is preferable that relatives do not work in the same organisation as this could give rise to nepotism. More importantly, if the husband and wife work in the same organisation, there could be instances wherein one could face the wrath of superiors at some point of time and the other could be praised by the superior this could lead to embarassment and ego amongst them.
Likewise if both are working in the same organisation, they would prefer to avail leave on the same date for specific reasons and if one does not get leave while the other is granted leave the purpose of availing leave by one gets defeated.
Like this there could be several underlying issues during the course of their service. Hence it is recommended that relatives are not engaged in the same company.

Dear Saritha,
I know of cases where organisations employ married couples in different roles and different departments. For example, a hospital recently employed two consultants in different departments. They moved from on town to another 200 miles away. Similarly, when a person in a senior position was sought by a university, one of the conditions that the candidate placed to agree to join was finding a suitable job for his/her spouse. The university managed to find one. In another case, when a HR Manager married a HR Officer, their company insisted that one of them had to move to another branch to avoid direct boss-subordinate relationship.
There is also a scholarly article on this topic at http://www.soc.umn.edu/~moen/PDFs/Tw...20Employer.pdf This question was amply discussed way back in 2008 at citehr at https://www.citehr.com/121504-spouse...ny-policy.html Some more views at why would an employer ban couples from working in the same department?

Hence my sincere suggestion is that we should SEARCH first and then seek help, as Aussiejohn keeps exhorting us.

It is not appropriate to have such policy by an organisation denying employment to a husband or wife because the other spouse is employed in it, if he or she earns it in his/her own right since it is likely to oppose public policy.However, the couple may not be posted in the same department or section or branch in the interests of security and confidentiality of an organisation.As Mr. Simhan pointed out, there are advantages too in hiring couples.
