I am almost certain that questions like this are illegal in any nation a HN reader would want to work in.

You wouldn't ask that question, but use that information to disqualify the candidate before the interview.

Just because you can't legally discriminate based on certain things doesn't mean people don't find ways to do so anyway.

The point is that the employer wouldn't even have to ask the question. The data is now public.
