Discriminating against an individual based on his or her marital status is illegal. That means your employer cannot discrimination against you because you are married, not-married, divorced, having a marriage dissolved or annulled, separated, widowed, or have any other marital status.

Protections against discrimination extend to persons married to a member of the protected class. If an employer does not hire you or fires you because of an interracial marriage, then discrimination may have occurred.

» Review The Four Factors To Determine If You Are Protected Against Discrimination

To determine whether you are protected against discrimination from your employer, there are three other things to consider:
1. Whether you are considered an employee who is covered under the law.
2. Whether your employer is subject to the anti-discrimination laws.
3. Whether your employer's conduct is considered discriminatory under the law.
4. What reason your employer discriminates against you.
