"Mother-in-law" is the feminine equivalent of "father-in-law".

Specifically, the gender of father-in-law is masculine because it's a question of the male parent-in-law. The gender of the mother-in-law is feminine because the term relates to the female parent-in-law. The word parent-in-law may be used in the singular to denote either gender.
