The answer

You are not obligated to visit your husband's mother, especially if she is aggressive and unjust. However, your going with your husband to visit her is a good deed for which you will be rewarded, and it will improve the relationship between you two. If the husband's mother is angry with her son because of you without a just cause, then no consequences arise from it. Nevertheless, the husband should strive to appease her as much as possible.
