Of course. But still, the relationship must be investigated to get to the truth of whether it was in fact coercive.
A policy, if this is the case, that dictates firing simply for having the relationship, is indefensible. It’s lazy - common risk minimization garbage-think created by lawyers and HR morons.
That’s not to say such a policy is ineffective. It’s very effective, in the same way making it illegal to cross the road ensures no one is struck by a car.
