Someone's recently had a look at the code. When I get the free time I'll find a way to put it into words and I'll stick it in the walkthrough.

To give the short version, particularly if you're playing in 5 Star you should try not to do much damage to anyone in the fight other than the wife. Basically, if the game thinks you're doing too well (because you're killing way more enemy troops than what you're losing), it bumps up every enemy's troop count at the end of the fight, including the wife. This means that once the fight has finished, the wife's troop count isn't actually at 0, so the game doesn't think you've beat her and hence you don't get the capture event.

So long story short, take more damage and try to specifically target the wife. I suggest using Youkai Ward and avoiding moves like Miko Storm 2.
