My client is creating a HUF deed and they would like to know, whether, his wife can be a coparcener of the HUF.

Two members :

1. Karta - Husband

2.Coparcener - wife.

Is that possible ?

I am asking this question because, the bank manager was raising a question about the inclusion of female as a coparcener.

Please advise.
