What is the status of wife of the Karta in a HUF? Is she a member or a coparcener ?

Only males are recognised as coparceners of the HUF and all the females are called members. 

All the coparceners are members but vice-versa is not true.
Daughters/Grand-daughters of Karta are the coparcencers.
The daughters-in-law are the members.
A woman can be a coparcener in the HUF of her Father and a member in the HUF of her Father-in-law at the same time.
I think HUF Coparceners have right to demand partition , however HUF members have no such right.

1. Yes, daughters can also be Co parceners of HUF. As per Hindu Succession Act, 2005 (Amendment) daughters can also be coparceners in their own rights in HUF of their father's HUF alone. 
2. However, both father and daughter should be alive as on 9th September 2005 (at the time of amendment). 
3. A wife can only become a member and as explained above difference between coparcener and member is that coparceners can demand partition of HUF whereas members have no such rights. 
4. However, members have an equal share in the property of the HUF.
5. Yes, she can be a coparcener in her fathers HUF (on satisfaction of the condition) and member in her father in laws HUF. 
Please correct me if the above interpretation has an alternative view.
