What does Joint Hindu Family consist of?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
A Joint Hindu Family consists of a "common ancestor and all his lineal male descendants upon any generation together with the wife or wives (or widows) and unmarried daughters" of the common ancestor and of those male descendants. On marriage a daughter becomes a member of her husband's family, although since the 2005 amendment to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 she keeps her coparcenary rights in her father's family. The other options wrongly bring in lineal female descendants or leave out the common ancestor.
