There are several reasons I have asked as an interviewer about a persons family, they include:
1) I do not want to employ somone who has close family or friends that work for our competitors.
2) It is important for me to know if the candidate has lots of emotional baggage or other problems with their family. The candidate will have to demonstrate that those problems will not affect their job performance.
3) A candidate who has family that are fishermen and taxi-drivers will not provide the same rich environment for an IT professional that a family of people involved in IT will provide. All other things being equal, the son of an Oracle DBA will be given preference to the son of a farmer.
wow such a cruel reality, my dad is a retiree and now is a chicken rice seller, because of this my chances of securing a post will be reduced 1) I do not want to employ somone who has close family or friends that work for our competitors.

I am absolutely dumb-founded, as i have always say that he is what he is now when asked by an interviewer. I think i should have made up some grand father story
The work culture is not mature if that's true.
