What is the name of your state? Michigan
Want to know if someone planning to get married (According Michigan State Law) would be protected under the discrimination laws. If in FACT they was discriminated by their employer because He/She is planning to get married.
For example: person being excluded from advancement or additional on the job trainning due to making plans to get married because employer thinks/feels that after she get married she will just quit and or plan to have children.

  • my brother a while back could not get insurance for his partner, only if they married. So yes, there are still discriminations in regards to gender. Of course its my opinion, but, if she was told she was going to be fired for getting married, isn't that a protective class? So how would that make it any less discriminating than how they are treating her now?

  • What you describe might be sex discrimination rather than discrimination based on marital status. For example, if the employer only considers marriage plans and child raising plans for women and not for men, that's sex discrimination.

  • SOME states, but by no means all, protect marital status. In those states, you could not legally be fired because you are getting married. In states that do not protect marital status, you can.
    It is not illegal discrimination for an insurance carrier to refuse to cover someone who is not a legal dependent of the insured.
