TA's cannot override the married segment logic. The system will just say "invalid compatible fare classes" or something to that affect. Reservations usually cannot override it either. It generally takes a supervisor and even that is difficult. It is just the way it is. As mentioned, all the major airlines do it. Delta started about 12 years ago.
