succession to the Moroccan throne

In Morocco, the succession to the throne is governed by the 2011 Constitution, which states that the throne is passed down through the Alaouite dynasty. The throne is typically inherited by the eldest male descendant of the reigning monarch, with the monarch's son or brother usually taking the throne upon their death or abdication. The monarch's choice of successor is also subject to approval by the Council of Ulema, a group of Islamic scholars.
