this is very technical and complicated issue which will require detailed Legal Research and Study - Also this issue is related to marriage laws and citizenship laws of India and UK so it will take serious and detailed research and analysis for proper and professional legal advise and opinion.

Ok, understood. So, you should seek Indian Citizenship & give up your British Citizenship and get settled in India with your son. Apply for Maintenance here against your British Citizen Hubby. If he denies, file Sec 498A of IPC against him and get him extradited to India for punishment. Under pressure, he will give you Maintenance and provide you Child Support.
