In a Hindu joint family governed by Mitakshara law, which statement describes the origin of coparcenary status?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Coparcenary is an institution of Hindu law. In a Mitakshara joint Hindu family, section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 recognizes the daughter’s coparcenary status by birth in the same manner as a son.
Option feedback
Option A
Coparcenary status follows from Hindu law. Section 6 recognizes daughters as coparceners by birth on the same footing as sons.
Option B
A private agreement does not create the legal status of coparcenary.
Option C
An existing coparcener’s unilateral act does not confer that status.
Option D
A partition divides an existing coparcenary interest. It is not the source of the legal status.
