This is one of those policy that have sprung from the briliantly weird HR guy ( although I am also one ) . , This policy lacks rationale , unless there is a covincing rationale , it shoud be flouted without any fear . There shall be many more like her in the same organisation .
Therefore first question it and seek rationale , if you are convinced then only follow it . There are companies and jobs that have grooming standards , but there is rationale to it e.g. an air hostess that have uniform may not allow a bindi to ensure that there is an uniformity or restrict as to what should be visible . There are companies that ban rings , otherthan the wedding / engagement rings , for employees that are customer facing . The restriction must pass test of reasonabilty and functionality , otherwise it can be called as arbitary .

Firmly believe that the values of an organisation should echo through the values of its people & who govern them...values like Respect & humility for every person, from all cultures, irrespective of marital status, sex, caste, etc should be of paramount interest. A culture that can't show respect to these primary things is not worthy of being called so.
Dignity of employees & their sensibilities should be taken care of.
The lady in question should consult HR about solutions that are constructive, ethical & value driven in nature .. if required people should be made to understand the importance of treating employees with due respect & dignity.
If the decision remains unchanged, the company is not worth working with...

Dear all
Wearing a mangalsutra or not is a personal decision or it might be the demand of professional life. I have no special comments on this
but
after going through all the post one can easily make out that a serious sensitization, orientation and training on Gender and Development is required by many people.

Dear All,
I see a different picture. But before commenting few clarifications: Is it a non Indian company/Indian? Where the dress code and other guidelines signed by the employee? Was she married before this job or during this job? Need of the job gravity?

The issue must be taken up with management. It is question of your values and it in no way hampers the performance. In case the 'selection rules' had laid down that married ladies will not be recruited for this job, compliance can be demanded. Otherwise no. Tommorrow it will be 'sindhoor' and so on.
Take on the challenge and meet HR.
Wish u all the best
