Although rural Bangladesh retains many traditional socioeconomic characteristics, the use of contraceptives has increased over the past three decades. This paper examines the influence a mother-in-law has on her young daughter-in-law's use of contraceptives in the rural community of Matlab, Bangladesh. The study uses data from 413 interviews conducted in two areas of the community with different family planning programs, which have affected differing levels of contraceptive prevalence. Results demonstrate that the mother-in-law does influence the daughter-in-law's use of contraceptives, particularly in social contexts where they are relatively limited in availability. This finding has important implications for enhancing the effectiveness of family planning programs in many areas of the developing world
