Question

Difference between primogeniture and coparcenary

Answer 1

Explanation:

Primogeniture means the eldest son inherits his fathers land.

Coparcenary means a division of the inheritance amonst all sons.

Answer 2

Primogeniture is the practice of giving the kingly succession to the eldest son whereas Coparcenary inheritance refers to the division of the empire among all sons.

Primogeniture:

• Being the firstborn means having primogeniture.
• The firstborn kid shall be given preference over all other children, distant relatives, and any illegitimate children, according to this law.
• This rule is divided into two groups as well.
• One is known as agnatic primogeniture, which specifies that the firstborn son inherits, while the other is known as matrilineal primogeniture, which specifies that the firstborn daughter inherits.
• However, the classical type of primogeniture, which explicitly establishes the male line primogeniture or absolute male-preference primogeniture, predominated in European law until the 20th century.
• But, most monarchies in Western Europe, including those in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the UK, Belgium, etc., abandoned the preference for males over females after World War II and relaxed their rules to allow for the right to inherit from a daughter or, in the absence of both, from another collateral relative.
• Sweden changed its succession law to absolute primogeniture in 1980, making gender irrelevant for inheritance.
• This was changed to reflect the substitution of Princess Victoria, his older daughter, for the infant son of King Carl XVI Gustaf.

Coparcenary:

• A smaller family group that owns property together is known as a coparcenary.
• A "propositus," or the person at the head of a line of lineage, and his three lineal descendants — sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons — make up a coparcenary.
• Coparcenary property is so titled because "unity of possession, title, and interest" characterizes the co-ownership.
• Although the principle is established in Hindu law, the English name is a common law borrowing.
• According to the Mitakshara school, which is dominant in most of India, a man's right to be a coparcener is conferred upon him at birth.
• The right to be included in the coparcenary, however, will only become mature when the common ancestor passes away if a newborn male is the fifth lineal descendant, or a great-great-grandson, when the common ancestor, his son, grandson, and great-grandson are all still alive. In other words, a coparcenary can trace their lineage back up to four generations.
• This is thought to be based on the Hindu belief that only males with a degree of three or above can perform spiritual ministration for the ancestors.
• Additionally, coparceners can only be men.
