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

Discrimination           

Protected Groups (Discrimination)
Age Discrimination
AIDS/Disease
Civil Rights
Disabilities (ADA)
National Origin Discrimination
Racial Discrimination
Religious Discrimination
Sexual Orientation Discrimination
Vietnam Vets/Veterans

Like I said - state law.

Buried in the list of the 47 bills signed into law was AB 1400, a bill which could have a major impact on businesses and consumers alike. Called "The Civil Rights Act of 2005," the new law adds "marital status" to the Unruh Civil Rights Act -- a California statute which prohibits any business establishment of any kind whatsoever from engaging in discriminatory business practices.

There are a lot of other states out there that have marital status protected.
