23 July 2014 Sir,
Can a widow mother survived by 2 male children's(both major) be the karta of an HUF?
Would there be any change, in case one of the male child is married?

23 July 2014 yes it is allowed to do so..............................

23 July 2014 Sir,
Can u cite any related case laws.

23 July 2014 basically only 1 male is required in any huf u can refer hindu succession act for more details

26 July 2014 Neelkant,

unfortunately, no. Despite amendment to Hindu succession act in 2005, the mother doesn't get the to be the karta if the sons are major. A woman can become a manager if the sons are minor, a daughter can become karta (after 2005 amendment) however, the mother cannot unless only females are left in the HUF and no male is left.
