It sounds like your in-laws have some control issues with their child, some parents have a hard time giving up control in their kids lives. It looks like since they can't, you need to start taking that control back. This probably shouldn't be an all-at-once thing, and to be honest, this should probably come from your wife. She can be honest with her parents, and tell them that they need to respect your family unit and the decisions you are making, they don't have to agree, but they need to understand they can't force their will on you.

I obviously don't know your situation, but until you clearly state to them that they are offside, you aren't really giving them a chance to correct themselves.
This.

If they don't listen, then cut them out of your life. Optional: Sending them a video of you and their daughter in a 'forbidden sexual position'.

Of course they have a right to say something. They do also need to know that if they do say something, they can and likely will be told to STFU.
