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?

I think you're right. The clause should actually be something like "disclose to my students the gender of my spouse." How does that sound?

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.

You are correct. Your English is great!
