"The revised Law on Family will regulate people's marriages by ensuring they undertake a DNA test before tying the knot...About 30 years ago in the 1980s, a study was conducted to determine the level of consanguinity among the population of eight soums in six provinces.

"Land rights and land use are especially important to herders in Mongolia, yet a much lower proportion of herder women than men have household property registered in their names. In addition, there are serious challenges to land productivity because of droughts, dzuds, and land degradation, leading to a shortage of pasture. This has led to disputes among and between herders, among crop growers and herders, and also between miners and residents. In these disputes, female heads of households are more vulnerable to losing their rights to land" (28).

It is a common phenomenon that women work for family businesses without formalizing their shares in those businesses, and it is a similarly common phenomenon that in the case of a divorce, the woman loses out, having no claim to any share of the business" (20).
