Dear Sir,
Now, the law is enlarged and under the provisions of DV Act your mother can file Domestic Violence case against her daughter-in-law. Your mother can also file defamation case against her for mental torture and defaming her among relatives and kith and kin.

You cannot file complaint for domestic violence but you can file complaint for criminal intimidation under IPC.
However your mother or sister can file a complaint for domestic violence against your wife.
