There's nothing "ethically" right or wrong about it.  It depends on
1) Your employer's policy.  If it's not allowed, don't do it.
2) Whether the wife/girlfriend is promoted above the husband/boyfriend.

Been wondering a lot about this.

i am getting married in January, and me and my intended work in the same office, even though my office does not have a laid down policy on this, its a real uncomfortable situation for me, been searching frantically for a new job these past few months as the weeding date approaches, as i am not under the illusion that this situation as it is the first in this comapany will not lead to the emergence of a company policy on this, even though we are in different departments.

I know however that the standard in most comapnies is that couples cannot work in the same comapny.

someone told me it obtains in multinationals like SPDC, and some very good companies,

However, the caveat is, you cannot be the direct supervisor or boss of your wife, husband, brother, sister or relative,

Personally, i don't like such but i know of couples that work 2gether in my workplace PZCussons, Lagos .

I think it also depends on the company policy and the nature of persons that are involved.

if this apply to me ,one of us will have to leave the place.
