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?

kq7u6j6I work as a waiter and personal life inbalances always come across due to the difficult hours.
Not having an understanding partner leads to discussions and anger and people eager to go home to partners again and just timing in/out without having to think about the quality of the service and what they leave behind at work for the next shift to pick up.
Most people quit 10 years in even though they studied 3,5 years, just because the family life is not quite compatible with the job. Or as men they end up divorced.
I don't know what your job application was for but this is my example in my field of how it makes sense.
Every employer wants a fixed team and not train new people in every 6 months or so, so it matters for the employer that you fit in the group and adhere to the group in stead of only having your mind at home due to the pressure that's being put on you. You getting offended by this shows you being closed and unwilling to have a "hyygelig" time with your colleagues.

kq7wpfnThere's a higher risk this is the way the company filters young professionals out of they're in risk of becoming pregnant in the near future.
That's why most of the comments agree this is a stupidly weird question, that opens the company up for potential discrimination laws
