Karta's family members can all be members of HUF. The male members are called coparceners, whereas the female members are just members. One of the differences between the two is that any of the coparceners can demand that the HUF be partitioned.
In most parts of the country, women do not have this right, except in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, where unmarried daughters may function as coparceners. Since September 9th, 2005 the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005 has abolished this gender discrimination by giving daughters the same rights as sons.
The daughters become the coparceners of their father’s families on birth in the same manner as sons and have the same rights as sons in the family properties.
