I have proof of this being a part of the application process. When asked in an email to the company on what grounds they asked about my relationship status they gave an absolute bs excuse:

"The purpose on the question is not focused on your relationship status. It is more about the support form your environment that can influence your stress resistance at work. You can treat this question as a question about the support from your closest friends, family, etc. The forming of the question can be a bit confusing, but this is the only purpose of asking about this."

So I also have the company admitting it in writing. I was not "chosen to go forward with" them. This question would have been an outright illegal and basis for a lawsuit in Finland. If it is not legal, to which agency/governmental institution should I contact regarding this issue?

Thanks! You provided me with the info I needed. While I will not get any restitution, I'd still like to know the legalities relating to this as I am not from Denmark, and this is not a legal question in Finland.

It’s legal but yeah it can be a red flag to be honest, especially if you’re a woman or man without kids between the age of 26-35.

If they ask you to tell them something about yourself that’s alright, but if they ask if you have a partner that’s an instant red flag in my book.

Yeah, I used to get that question all the time as a woman when I was mid-20s and searching for a job after university. It's a way for them to get around the ban on asking people about whether or not they plan to have children and so on, imo.
