In my previous job I asked my dev lead from Mumbai to help me with interviewing candidates to join us on a project here in California. On a conference call with a female interviewee, he asked if she was married. He hadn't asked the previous two candidates (males) that we'd interviewed.

After the call I told him that was illegal here and he can't ask that question in an interview. He was shocked. He said Indian women are expected to devote time to their families once they are married. Single women have much more time to devote to the project and would be much better for our team.

I've known that women have been discriminated in this way for a long time, but I had never encountered it personally until then.
