The answer

Insulting the husband's mother and treating her badly is a sign of poor companionship and an insult to the husband himself, whereas honoring her is an honor to the husband. It is permissible to divorce the wife for this reason, but it is better to avoid it and resort to advice, patience, and attempting to influence her to change her behavior, as divorce is the last resort.
