Nepotism - Airforce/Army etc. - Husband/Wife
Hi,
this is a hypothetical armed forces, hwoever the ground rules should be as close to current general practice in the UK, the NATO and in the USA as possible.
Are there any anti-nepotism/favouritism/corruption laws in place which deal with husbands and wives?
What I mean in detail is: husband is the upper end of the chain of command in a set branch of the Forces. He is the direct commanding officer of his fiancee and the fiancee is in his chain of command, but quite a few ranks under him (think general and major).
What would usually happen if they got married? Would the wife have to work under someone else (possibly at a different base)? Or would she be told, in case she wanted to stay on place, to quit service?
How are such marriages handled? I researched double-service marriages, but found none where the husband is the direct commanding officer of the wife (or vice versa), so I am beginning to suspect that there is a ban on this in effect somehow. I found mention of father + son being refused.
Research/search terms:
double-service marriage + nepotism
USAF +nepotism +wife
army +nepotism +wife
USAF +nepotism +marriage
