YES ! A FEMALE CAN BE A " KARTHA".

-->

The HonBle Supre Court gave a reason that  woman, cannot become a Karta,  because a Karta has to necessarily be a coparcener.


But now, with the amendment of 2005, Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 gives equal rights to daughters in the Hindu Mitakshara Coparcen ary property as the sons have.

Now   The Hindu Succession Amendment Act,2005 , conferred equal property rights on daughters as well sons.. Now the daughters by birth will acquire rights over coparcenary property.

Earlier women were not included as coparcenary members, and according to the Hindu sages only a coparcener can become a karta, and therefore they could not be the Karta.

Hence, since, a woman when acquire rights over coparcenary property, she can be a Kartha.
