I’ve seen people parrot this around so much, but I have never been presented with a source or any evidence to corroborate it. I think it’s just a myth at this point.

Some mamonos are definitely married. Signs of marriage are clearly visible in Atlach-Nacha, Mindflayer, Night Gaunt and, it seems, Wendigo too. These mamonos transform their husbands into parts of themselves. For example, in Atlach-Nacha, her spider part is actually her husband...
As Sir Tort states, yes. There are certain Mamonos whose images shown (may it be main or accompanying image) are of individuals that are married. Basically, this is KC showing us what they are likely to look like when married. It doesn't take much to tone-down their appearance or take some extra details off to know what they look like when un-married (or single).
My thoughts of course.

Races of Monsters
In the other volume, “Monster Girl Encyclopedia I”, various races of monsters were introduced in detail with illustrations. In the introductions from the encyclopedia only one individual is portrayed in the illustrations, but of course, they have individual differences. Physique, facial features, clothing, etc. things that aren't set by the race's inherent special traits, vary depending on the individual. However, from a human standpoint, in the case of individuals of the same race, they often feel like they have a similar atmosphere about them for some reason, and since there are a lot of points that are similar or matching in terms of looks and personality, someone knowledgeable can distinguish the differences between races with similar forms, and even someone with little knowledge can probably sense it: “Are these two the same race?” “Although they look similar, I think they're different races.” The illustrations in the monster girl encyclopedia are the average forms of those races in general. Basically, it's okay to think that most individuals look similar to the illustration.
And the Scholar page
The scholar's typical method of writing the profile for a particular race of monster involves finding a married individual and her husband and conducting an interview before moving on. These meetings and his observations are normally not particularly long or exhaustive, and thus at times the scholar's conclusions can be exaggerated or too generalized, sometimes relying on hearsay or presumption to fill out gaps. He does not seek to misinform and in general is reliable, but his own biases and tendency toward hyperbole do sometimes effect his writing, making some monsters seem more threatening or deviant than they actually are, or making extreme behavior seem like the norm or equally applicable to the entirety of a particular monster race.
The majority of profiles have extra art in which they usually are engaged in intercourse with a man. However if this is just an illustration or the scholar's direct depiction of said couple is unknown to me.
