It had to be made illegal to ask in the states, because so many employers used that information in an adversarial way.

In places that don't have such a history, there's no reason for it to be taboo.



To be clear: the question isn't illegal. What is illegal is using it to discriminate against a protected class, so as a result, no interviewer with half a brain will ask those questions.
