Social dynamics are never this simple.
Nor can they be explained easily or briefly.
I suggest reading:
1) NTC's Dictionary of Japan's Cultural Code Words by
Boye Lafayette De Mente
2)A History of Japan, George Sansom (three vol)
3) Everyday Life in Traditional Japan, Charles J. Dunn
4) The wonderful World of Sazae-san, Machiko Hasegawa
5)Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Lafcadio Hearn
6) Lost Japan, Alex Kerr
7) Myths and Legends of Japan, F. Hadland Davis
This should provide a start toward answering your
question.

if Genma is the head of teh Saotome clan.
why does his wife have so much power?
I mean Saotome is HIS family name not hers.
sure her clan might be rich and more powerfull and
his clan may have a debt to her clan yet this
wouldnt give her the sort of power many fanfic
writers have given her.
Any one care to explain?
