Hi Prachi,
What you have done is the best to the interest of the company. Most of the organisations have policy not to recruit spouse of employee or even couples. But one great learning for us here is not many organisations have policy on two employees getting married. We dont land up in challenges as long as they are in different departments. But when it comes for the same department its really hard to manage.
I suggest you to assign a day to hear employee suggestions or grievance so that these sort of things could be handled even before it keeps you occupied for days. As you said its not good to have different treatment for different levels of people which will always cause disturbance.
This act might be hard in many ways may even create an embarrassment among your employees. So communicate to your employees why you have to go for such a hard decision ( Atleast with Senior Staff)without embarrassing the Director. This can be done either in a planned or unplanned fashion.
