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?

kq8xqj5In Danish law it is illegal to discriminate (that is treat people differently) based on race, skin color, religion, political views, sexuality, age, handicap or national, ethnic or social origin.
It is as a general principle legal to discriminate on other grounds, such as the views of your partner. But I would be a bit weary about a company that expects so much stress and overwork that it might cause problems with the spouse.
