This is the explanation a dictionary offers.
------------
때리는 시어머니보다 말리는 시누이가 더 밉다
It is not the mother-in-law who beats you, but the sister-in-law who tries to stop her that is more hateful.
----------
It could be a concept difficult to understand for foreigners.
In this idiom, the daughter-in-law would think they(mother-in-law and sister-in-law) are the same side, so the sister-in-law are pretending to stop the mother-in-law, but it is just a gesture which has no real intention of stopping her.
