Congratulations, but been there, done that. Here's to your new life!
I had to go look up the federal laws to see if married/not married is a protected status. Apparently not, if you apply the same measure to both men and women.
TITLE VII - CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 (42 USC 2000e AND 12102 ET. SEQ.)
Title VII is the primary federal employment antidiscrimination legislation. It applies only to employment except concerning individuals with disabilities.
PROTECTED GROUPS:
Race
Color
Religion
Gender (including pregnancy and marital status if applied only to one sex)
National origin or ancestry
Disability
Age Discrimination
AIDS/Disease
Civil Rights
Disabilities (ADA)
National Origin Discrimination
Racial Discrimination
Religious Discrimination
Sexual Orientation Discrimination
Vietnam Vets/Veterans
There are a lot of other states out there that have marital status protected.
Thanks for the info.
