Opinion: If the House is women's matrimonial Home as sharehousehold then she has a right to reside there and the court have power to pass an order Under section 19 of Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act-2005.

how can he force her to leave at night?

Opinion: legally he has no right to throw out his wife, he committed an act of domestic violence and they can be prosecuted before the Magistrate Court under Domestic Violence Act-2005.

and if a women is not giving her salary to in-laws does she has right to stay in that house?

Opinion: Forcefully taken salary of Daughter-in-Law/Wife is illegal and the wife/women can claim her loss of earning or amount given to them by filing domestic violence complaint before magistrate U/s 12 of Protection of women from domestic violence Act-2005 along with section 17,18,19,20,21 & 22 of Act and claim protection, right to residence, monetary relief, child custody and compensation.

.. shall i file complaint in domestic violence cell?

It will be better to file the criminal complaint U/s 12 of Act before magistrate where you are residing temporary or permanent or worked.
