Prima facie case of discrimination


Problem: A woman from New Jersey is interviewed for a job in marketing. The Job is based in Georgia. She has an MBA. The interviewing manager asks her questions such as "Do you have any children?", "Does your husband help with the child rearing?", "Do you plan on having more children in the future?", and "Would your family support you moving to Georgia if we need you to?" The woman is not hired for the position (a male from Georgia with a bachelor's degree in public relations is hired). Does the woman have a legitimate argument for sex discrimination? If yes, what does she have to show in order to make a prima facie case of discrimination? What affirmative defense(s), if any, can the employer assert?
