Which nikah’s meher is applicable, the 1st meher or the 2nd meher?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

My friend’s friend have nikah 2nd time with same girl to show thier relatives and ppl. The 1st nikah performed some time ago and the meher was set in court some thousand in rupees. now the meher in 2nd nikah has set some laks in rupees.

Answer

The concept of two Nikahs has no basis in Shari’ah. The first Nikah will be
valid if the conditions of the Nikah were fulfilled. The Mahr stipulated at
the first Nikah must be given.

In principle, if the husband increased the Mahr amount after the Nikah and
after consummation, then the increased amount must be given. (Qudoori). The
increase must be offered by him. It cannot be imposed upon him.
