Woman Can Be 'Karta' Of Hindu Undivided Family; Hindu Law Doesn't Limit Women's Right To Be HUF Karta : Delhi High Court Yes, the Delhi High Court has made a significant ruling affirming that a woman can be the 'Karta' of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). The court upheld that the 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act grants women all the rights a coparcener has, including the right to be a Karta. This decision emphasizes that societal perceptions cannot be a reason to deny equal rights to women as Karta in HUF. The court's ruling is a step forward in recognizing gender equality in the management and control of HUF property.
