A coparcener in a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) is someone who has a legal right by birth to the ancestral property of the HUF.
The following points clarify who qualifies as a coparcener:
All children (male or female) born into the HUF automatically become coparceners.
A coparcener has the right to demand partition and claim a share in the HUF property.
A married woman who joins the HUF through marriage becomes a member but does not acquire coparcenary rights.
The wife of the Karta (head of the HUF) is a member of the HUF but not a coparcener.
