Janhavi was asked this by manager; X post going viral

During an interview, a candidate is asked a variety of questions by those in the interview panel. Janhavi, a 25-year-old woman, was asked a question, followed which she shared a post on social media. The post by the Indian-origin woman from the UK has sparked a new debate. One of the questions that unmarried girls often face is whether they plan to get married soon.

If the marriage is happening soon, it will even affect the job prospects. JanhaviJain, a marketing specialist, shared her experience when she came to an Indian company in search of a job. Janhavi said that as soon as she told that she was 25 years old, the HR official of the company asked her if she planned to get married soon. Janhavi ended the post by asking, "Is this still happening??"

The woman shared her surprise at being asked such questions even nowadays. "Those who are asking such questions should understand that it is human beings, not machines, who are applying for jobs. Who said that a job should be given to a person only after knowing when he or she will get married? So how will it affect the company if you get married immediately and have children? A job should be given based on one's ability. What's the point of knowing about his marriage, children, etc.,? These are the comments.

If a candidate get married soon and have children, they will have to be given a lot of paid leave with salary. That's the reason why such questions arise. Comments can be seen under Janhvi's post that it is common for companies in India to ask such questions to candidates.
