The use of contraceptive methods and their correlates continues to be a subject of scientific interest in developing countries, including India, for its contribution to reducing fertility and improving maternal and child health. This study explores the family type and contraceptive use by analyzing the National Family Health Survey-4 data (2015-16). Multinomial logistic regression was used to check the adjusted effects of the predictor variables on contraceptive use. STATA (version 13) was used for the analysis with a significance level of 5 per cent. Adjusting the effects of socio-demographic and economic characteristics, women from nuclear family had 6 per cent lower odds of using modern limiting method (OR = 0.94, 95 per cent CI = 0.92-0.96) and 5 per cent lower odds of using any traditional method of contraception (OR = 0.95, 95 per cent CI = 0.91-0.99) than their counterparts from non-nuclear family with mother-in-law (MIL). Family type, especially the presence of MIL, was associated with daughter-in-law's (DIL) contraceptive behavior. The results based on a nationally representative recent survey contribute to the existing scanty evidence on the association between the MIL and DIL's contraceptive behavior in the Indian context. Results suggest more awareness about the benefits of modern spacing methods among the mothers-in-law, leading to their enhanced use
