Legal Question in Employment Law in California
An employee is engaged to another employee (not a supervisor). It states in a handbook if employees date, engage, or get married they will be fired. Is this legal?

It is called a 'non-fraternization rule', designed to protect companies from sexual harassment suits by angry lovers after they break up and complain they were 'sexually harassed at work'.
