These arguments are typical of Indian culture and confronting mother in law would only make it worse. You can't change her behavior and make her like you but you can request her to be respectful of you and talk respectfully yourself. Also, between you and husband, you need to be on the same page wrt moving to village. Such situations can come up in life anytime when one wants but other doesn't want.
Next Steps
See a counselling psychologist for learning how to strengthen marital bond, manage difficult relationships, conflict management and stress management.

I understand your distressful situation. You seem to be suffering from adjustment problems with few depressive symptoms. However more clarity is needed regarding your problem to decide on the severity of your condition. Don't worry it is not your fault, it is the hormonal and chemical fluctuations in your brain as a result of stress which is taking a toll on your mental health. Putting up with the feeling that you are being dominated can be exhausting. It is easily manageable with appropriate treatment, so that dysfunction due to the same can be reduced and your quality of life will improve. Some counselling sessions and if needed medical help might be useful for you. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for online assistance. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
