If your mother in law is forcefully keeping you within the boundaries of your house and harassing you in this way then you can approach the police station and lodge a complaint against your mother.
If the situation is not critical then we would recommend to sort out things by trying to make her understand and consulting a counsellor.
You can also file a case against them under Section 339 in The Indian Penal Code
Section 339 states: Wrongful restraint.—Whoever voluntarily obstructs any person so as to prevent that person from proceeding in any direction in which that person has a right to proceed, is said wrongfully to restrain that person.

Talk to your husband and come to a mutual understanding on what you should do to make her understand your situation. As I understand from your write-up that the problem only exists with your mom in law and not all of your in-laws, it is ideal not to resort to any of the legal remedies, instead try to win her over by doing things that she would appreciate, try to be close to her and make her understand you. Resort to her counselling if that be an option for you.
