Absolutely not and a prospective employer has no right to ask you about such matters either.  In many cases it would be illegal to ask such questions.


I went on an interviewing training course recently for my employer and the types of things we're not allowed to ask about were made very clear.  The most obvious one is asking a female candidate if she is intending to have kids (ie about to go on maternity leave).


Even putting the legal and/or moral issues about asking such questions aside you should never, NEVER, NEVER volunteer any potentially negative information on your CV and should only do so in an interview in response to a direct question where you'd have to lie to do otherwise.


On your CV you should avoid giving someone reading it a reason to reject you and anything negative is bad news.  You're not lying by not including it.


Michael.
