If he told you that it was illegal to ask and as you admit below - it's
not - then you paid for incorrect information. It may not be in your
book but in my book that's a rip off.

I said nothing of the sort. It's not illegal to act on the information -
it's illegal to discriminate! Get it straight!

You don't need a question on the form to claim or sue for anything!
Surely you're lawyer knows that!

I realize that he is suggesting what some people would call the prudent
course of action to omit the marriage question entirely in an attempt to
avoid the issue. However, and again, you're claim has just be proven
false yet you still cling to it as if it were true. It's not. End of story.

Like I said - cling to it. You go right ahead there and cling to it if
you want. We also know that payment for information is not a guarantee
that that information will be accurate. Remember that 50% of all lawyers
were in the bottom 1/2 of their classes! Truth is there is nothing wrong
nor illegal with asking for such information it's only illegal to
discriminate it based on such information (and it shouldn't be IMHO but
that's a whole another can of worms). And while it might be wise to
avoid the issue entirely it's still not illegal...
