Because an unspoken condition of employment that prospective employees must stay single is a management technique made of win.

Errh.. Not. Good lord. would you want to manage a team made up of 100% celibate men? This is not a weakspot in the law, because it's not a runaround anyone sane enough to not already be bankrupt would attempt.

It might on the margin inspire people to hire more people in their forties and fifties, - people who have had any children they are likely to have, but from the point of view of the government, that's also not a flaw, but more of a "Secondary benefit free with just legislation".
