    D Property inherited by a female Hindu from her father or mother Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: A coparcenary property is a property that is inherited by a male Hindu from his father, grandfather or great grandfather. It also includes property acquired by a male Hindu with ancestral property, and property gifted or bequeathed to a male Hindu by his father, grandfather or great grandfather. A female Hindu can become a coparcener by birth in her own right in a joint Hindu family. However, property inherited by a female Hindu from her father or mother is not considered a coparcenary property
