Police photographer Stephen Murphy was told his wife was a "*beep*" and his decision to marry her meant he could not be trusted.
The PSNI said the Fair Employment case was not defended because they were unaware it was taking place.
The tribunal heard that Mr Murphy was warned his life was in danger.
Two senior officers were said to have tried to make his life "as difficult as possible" and to force him to leave.
The Fair Employment Tribunal ruled that Mr Murphy should be re-engaged in the PSNI by 16 July 2007.
Mr Murphy, a Protestant, had worked for two years for the RUC in the 1980s and became a civilian photographer in 1998.
The tribunal heard two officers, known only as Inspector F and Acting Sergeant K, worked to make life difficult as he was a Presbyterian and was engaged to a Catholic woman.
