What is illegal from the interview to ask about my girlfriend's ability to work with me?

My girlfriend is applying to work in the same office as me. It was known that she is my girlfriend and the interviewer asked her if she would be able to work in the same office as me. Was that an illegal question for her to ask? (PS I know working with your significant other is not considered the best idea.)

Not at all. The company is trying to anticipate any problems in case you and your girlfriend break up or there is a nasty fight in which affect the workplace. However, it is a bad idea to have your girlfriend working in the same office as you..

Not illegal. It would be stupid to not ask. Most forms of discrimination are quite lawful and discrimination based on relationships to a current employee is not prohibited in any state or country.
