The answer

A woman does not have the right to reclaim gold she gifted to her husband's mother, as the husband's mother has taken possession of it. Revoking a gift is not permissible except for a father concerning what he gives to his child. Furthermore, revoking a gift is only valid if the gifted item remains in the possession of the donee.
