how can a mother disown his child legally, so that he ( the son) can be a dependent only on his father?
A.Dear client,
Though there are no laws for disowning a child under Indian laws, parents financially and emotionally cut off their own children with legal impunity. Parents can publish a notice in two public newspapers which are widely distributed in that area.

A.Dear Client,
While I sympathize with your plight that compels you to decide to disown your son, it is to inform you that unfortunately there are no laws for disowning a child under Indian laws, You can financially and emotionally cut off your relationship with your own son with legal impunity. You can publish a notice in two public newspapers which are widely distributed in that area. Though such a proclamation through the newspaper doesn’t have any dispositive legal effect, it makes everyone aware that you are disowning your son. In fact, parents cannot disown a minor child. They can only disown and stop maintaining him/her after attaining majority under the Indian Majority Act, 1875. It is their responsibility to maintain the minor children till they turn major. So, there are no specific laws related to the disownment of children in India. But in extreme situations, parents can seek legal help to get relief.
