Totally disagree.
Years ago, and I’m talking 80’s and 90’s, we had a much more carefree policy about workplace “entanglements”. But when you start seeing lawsuits being launched at other firms, and the disruption that such issues can bring to the workplace, we now have a no tolerance policy in place…with stipulations.
Any relationship between co-workers has to be known, ie; they must inform HR or an immediate supervisor. Obviously if it’s an affair or triangle, they won’t want it exposed, but if it’s discovered that that’s what’s going on, married people and so on, it’s termination…point-blank period. 
We’ve had cases where a significant other started calling in, accusing a manager of messing w/ a girlfriend and whatnot. That calls for immediate  suspension until its fully investigated and cleared. 
The time lost, the disruption, the lost productivity hours, etc.- just not worth it. Bottom line, we make it very clear the consequences of a workplace entanglement, but we’re not draconian enough to totally forbid it.
