Getting married to another employee at the Vatican bank is now a fireable offence. The regulation is designed to combat nepotism and corruption, but it has already had a negative impact on a recent case of blossoming young love at the bank.
It also appears that the rule applies to all employees of the Vatican City State. The rule has only been triggered at the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), popularly known as the “Vatican bank”, due to a recent marriage between employees there, but it seems that the rule applies to employees working for any Vatican institution if they fall in love with a fellow Vatican employee and want to get married.
