Yes, that is illegal according to the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. I have had many software job interviews that were illegal. Most of that were interviewers asking about my familial status because parents are perceived as more dependent upon the employment with less mobility and spouses are perceived as more stable and less likely to commit inter-personnel policy violations. I just disclose the requested information. If you actually are a senior manager you should already know this is illegal.
