Who is cognate ?

Binod Kumar Mishra (Government Service)     06 June 2009

dear MR. Rao,

what are you asking? you are asking the literal meaning of cognate. if yes then the meaning of cognate is "of same caste, creed or of  blood relation".

1.One who is related to another on the female side. --Wharton.

 

2. One of a number of things allied in origin or nature; as, certain letters are cognates.

A person is said to be the cognate of another if the two of them are related by blood or adoption, but not entirely through males [Section 3(1) (c)]. It does not matter if the intervention in the line of succession is by one or more females. As long as there is at least one female intervening, it is a cognate relationship. As in agnate relationship, cognate relationship is also not based on marriage and only on blood or adoption. Hence widow or widowers of those related by cognate relationship do not fall under this category and hence they are not entitled to succeed on this ground.

Agnate- one person is said to be an agnate of another if the two are related by blood or adoption wholly through males. Cognate- one person is said to be a cognate of another if the two are related by blood or adoption but not wholly through males, vide section 3 (1) of the HSA.
