HUF and daughters: post-2005 coparcenary rights

Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

  1. Facts

    The 2005 amendment gave daughters equal coparcenary rights in HUF property, equal to sons by birth. The Supreme Court in Vineeta Sharma vs Rajesh Sharma (2020) confirmed this applies even if the father died before 2005, as long as the daughter was alive on 9th Sept 2005.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005, Sec 6 | SC: Vineeta Sharma (2020)

  3. Analysis

    This means: a daughter has the right to demand partition of HUF property. She is a full coparcener. She can also be appointed Karta if she is the eldest coparcener.
