yes they can,

provided that necessay condition satisfied

NO they will not be able to claim deduction.

A co-owner, who is not a co-borrower, is not entitled to tax benefits. Similarly, a co-borrower, who is not a co-owner, cannot claim benefits.

for claiming deduction U/S 24 assessee should be the owner of the house whether co owner or otherwise

So if they take joint loan , this will not gonna help them

Instead they can take house in their joint names then they both can get deduction under their respective heads of income
