If we see the Hyuga as a strict clan based on old Japanese traditions, then we could argue that Hinata and Hanabi's mother and father's marriage was arranged.. Maybe their mother doesn't love Hiashi, and as a woman she is unconcerned with the affairs of succession and such and that's why she's never present.
