Rights of daughters in joint Hindu Family Property in India.

 

Right of the daughters to become coparceners of a Hindu undivided family.

The plaintiffs claim that the amended Section 6 of the Act provides that the daughterof a coparcener in the joint Hindu family governed by Mitakshara law, shall by birth, become coparcener in her own right in the same manner as a son and, therefore, they alongwith their sister, defendant No.3 being the daughters of late Shri Rajinder Nath, a coparcener of the HUF, became coparceners therein by birth in their own right in the same manner as defendant No.2, their brother and hence, they are entitled to seek partition of the two HUF branches of Shri Rajinder Nath and Shri Ram Chander Nath (defendants No.1 and 4) as the said HUFs had continued with joint family business with undivided common HUF assets that were allocated to them in equal share under the Award dated 26.10.1978.
