If it's in an interview, they shouldn't. I don't believe it's a hard and fast "law", but it is something that might be actionable if you do not then get the job.
What they'll typically ask instead is for you to tell them about your "family". If you mention no partner, then they know.
Now if you already have the job, it is very gray if they can ask you. If they ask once, you demur, and they leave it at that, it's usually okay. If they ask more than once, or if you felt uncomfortable the first time, then it could be sexual harassment.

When applying for a new job can new employers ask your old employer how many sick days you had?
To my knowledge, employers can ask about your attendance. They are NOT permitted to ask why you were out of the office. They are NOT permitted to ask questions about your religious or sexual orientations. They are not permitted to ask specifics about whether or not the previous employer thinks you are ugly or a liar or whatever. If the potential employer does ask these, you can file a lawsuit. If the previous employer makes untruthful, slanderous statements about you, you can also file a lawsuit.

An employer can ask an employee if they are retiring as long as it is not done in a way that does not discriminate. It is not legal for an employer to tell an employee to resign because of his age. Also, an employee does not have to answer if his boss asks if he is retiring.
