bona fide occupational qualification

An employment qualification that, although it may discriminate against a protected class (such as sex, religion, or national origin), relates to an essential job duty and is considered reasonably necessary to the operation of the particular business.

• Such a qualification is not illegal under federal employment-discrimination laws. — Abbr. BFOQ. [Cases: Civil Rights 1118, 1529. C.J.S. Civil Rights §§ 25, 161–162.]
