[#372] Which of the following statements hold true regarding the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005?
Correct Answer

(C) Women can now become karta of joint Hindu family

Explanation

Solution: The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 was a landmark reform in Hindu personal law. Before the amendment , only male members of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) could be coparceners and thus eligible to become the karta (head) of the family. After the 2005 amendment , daughters were granted the same rights and liabilities as sons in the coparcenary property. This means that daughters became coparceners by birth , and therefore, they are now eligible to become the karta of a Hindu joint family if they are the senior-most coparcener. Therefore, the correct statement is: Women can now become karta of joint Hindu family.
