Re: British citizenship by descent or double descent
Your father would not have acquired British citizenship through simply being married to your mother. He would’ve needed to have lived in the UK for a number of years on a spouse visa before naturalising as a British citizen.
Section 4B registration is for those who hold a category of British nationality other than British citizenship and does not hold any other citizenship. Given that you’re an Indian citizen then this is not applicable to you.
