marital discrimination

I am not married. I decided to have a child because if I waited to find the right man to have one with, I would not be able to have a child. My employer has fired me because I had a child out of wedlock. Is that legal?

It may be illegal for an employer to fire you, or refuse to hire you because you decided to have a child out of wedlock. This is commonly called marital status discrimination. It is also illegal to refuse to grant you maternity leave because you are not married or refuse to hire single people because they are single.

Am I Being Discriminated Against If An Employer Refuses To Hire Me Because My Spouse Is Middle Eastern?

By Deskin Law Firm
People are protected from being discriminated against based on their race. The law also protects those people that are associated with those in this protected class. As a result, the protections against race and color discrimination extend to persons associated with a member of the protected class. If employers failure to hire an individual was motivated by the individual’s interracial marriage, then discrimination may have occurred.
