morality of finding out if someone is single
It was likely asked in a perfectly moral way as in, "Do you have any family reason why you couldn't pick up and move to another country next week?"
Moving someone to another country is a huge life change. More so if there is a spouse and/or children involved. Sadly, political correctness makes casual concerns something to be litigated over.

A "perfectly moral" (and more appropriate to the goal) method would be to exclude the reference to family and just as "Do you have any reason why you couldn't pick up and move to another country next week?" I mean, if the intent isn't just to discover information about their family structure, there is no reason non-family reasons would be less relevant than family reasons.
- scott_karana 13y agoWhy even make family part of the equation?... "Do you have any reasons why you couldn't pick up and move to another country next week?"
- crusso 13y agoPeople say things. Some of it is immoral. Some of it is stupid. Some of it is neither, maybe just throw-away. In this case, actually, the original question about having a family stuck in the author's head (not in a bad way) for decades. He thought of it as a good way to introduce the next part of his story. It seems a shame to me that we're so knee-jerk politically correct that we can't allow people to not say things perfectly the first time, even when their intent was perfectly harmless.
