Renewing the marriage contract as a precautionary measure does not invalidate it, but it should not be renewed if the reason for it is obsessive whispering (waswasah). There is no minimum limit for the mahr (dowry) according to the more preponderant opinion. It is permissible for the father to authorize the brother to marry off his daughter if the brother is competent for guardianship.
