    the UK site is advising however it is not mandated as a Morocco entry requirement
    Timatic (used by the airlines) for a UK passport says

    Document Validity:

    Passports and other documents accepted for entry must be valid for the period of intended stay.



    In that case he'll be ok. Timatic is referred to by airline staff when there is any doubt.

    Possibly more of a problem than the OP realises.  This from an internet search - 
    "Do you need 6 months on your passport to travel to Morocco?
    You must hold a full ten-year passport with at least six months to run from the end of your trip. Airlines may choose not to carry passengers holding passports with less than 6 month's validity."

    According to that, it's 6 months validity required rather than 3 months.
    Probably worth citing sources somewhat more specifically than "from an internet search" when quoting them, as it'll help readers to assess their credibility when compared with the official authoritative version(s)?

    It was the first thing on the results when I used "UK passport requirements for Morocco" and I wrongly thought it was from Gov.uk which is the first proper link, immediately below that info.  Apologies for causing panic for the OP.  Gov.uk does state 3 months.

    I wonder whether the OP's daughter's boyfriend managed to board the flight and now enjoying the break in Morocco?
