It's best not to refer to persons living in a household as a family, since many members of a family could be living elsewhere. It's also important to include only persons who usually live in the household and not to include visitors.

In the NFHS-5 report, we only break the household down into two groups (nuclear households and non-nuclear households). The definition used is as follows:
"Nuclear households are households comprised of a married couple or a man or a woman living alone or with unmarried children (biological, adopted, or fostered) with or without unrelated individuals." We do not have any code or guidance for creating the groups that you are trying to define.

Another possible concern is how to define the household structure in households in which the household head has more than one wife living in the same household.
