This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written “whom I married.”
Non native English speaker here with a genuine question; wouldn’t “telling the students whom I married” mean that the teacher married the students instead of telling students about their spouse?
Either a comma or parentheses are what would make the difference.
I will tell the students whom I married.
Now the students know who was at your wedding.
I will tell the students, whom I married.
I will tell the students (whom I married).
You’re only telling something to the students that you married.
They are only stopping the “who I married”-teachers form selecting the books.
The “whom I married”-teachers get to select the book for them.
