He is a great lier if he is here about this animal-like marriages amongst the Mongols proper!  Mongol mentality never could imagine this madness during its long existance. May be he did have no a  translator over the issue. This particular account is totally untrue!!!

"...Everyone has as many wives as he can afford: some have a hundred, some fifty, some ten, some more, some fewer, and everyone is generally married to relatives except to their own mother or daughter or sister of their own mother— even to half sisters and they can actually marry their father's wives after his death. In fact, the younger of two brothers may marry the elder brother's wife after his death or else another younger relative may do so. They take all the rest of the women as wives without any distinction and they buy them from their relatives at great cost. After the death of their husbands the women do not willingly marry a second time, unless someone wishes to marry his stepmother...".

• “…Rubruquis visited the town, where  he met a German and his wife, with whom his man Goset had spent the winter, having been sent by Sertak that he might ease his court. Rubruquis tells us that Batu and Sertak, one on one side the river, the other on the other, were wont to descend as far as this place in their winter migration, but no further, crossing over the frozen surface of the Volga when they had occasion, and taking shelter among the woods on its banks in severe weather…”, page 101, Sertak Khan.

Where is it? It's in Mongolia's Dundgovi Aymag or Middle Gobi Province. Gobi is green as soon as it rains. It looks white because of flowers. Photo by Bolod.

Milking goats in southern part of Dundgobi Aymag or Middle Gobi Province. You think these little kids are just entertaining themselves while mother and sisters work hard. Not really. Kids in herder's family help to bring sheeps and goats, bring water from container, take out rubbish from ger and bring it to can...Photo by Bolod.

A calm evening at nomadic campement in Mongolia. It's "too crowded"-there are "too many gers"\tents\ around. Here, there are "too many animals" too here like cars in New York. This ladscape is the greatest contract to Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolia's "New York City". There is no space left for parking cars in Ulaanbaatar. About New York City, it said the city that never sleeps. Something is similar here too-some nights, dogs may bark at a lot in case volves appraoch the camp. Photo taken by Bolod.

Western Mongolia is the land of yak. These hairy animals cannot survive in southern Gobi desert and semidesert or in eastern plains of the country-it would be too hot for them. Herders say yak milk is the most fat one. That's why yak milk cheese butter is  one of the most preferred in market in Ulaanbaatar. Photo by Bolod.

He is known all over Mongolia, and also mentioned or pictured in some accounts of contemporary western travellers.

Travellers are to drive an old Soviet T-55 tank in Mongolia.  By the way, this tank is still able fight. In war reportages from Syria, you can notice that there are many T-55 tanks like this one here. This tank is simple and less vulnerable to enemy fire. Along with T-72, these type of tank is a main battle mashine there. Photo taken by Bolod.
