If she wasn't married, she wouldn't be fired. It doesn't matter that it depends on the person she married, fact is that the CEO wants to fire her because she is getting married and wouldn't want to fire her if she didn't get married. | |

It doesn't say you can't be terminated for a potential conflict of interest (though I would question whether a QA and a dev is really a serious conflict of interest... a supervisor and a subordinate is another matter, though.) | |

There is big difference between "married or not" vs "married to another employee". Professional legal advice would be in order before taking such an action (OP, who is not taking the action, has much less to be concerned about in that direction) | |
