But the Jedi think passion and romantic bonding is evil - if they thought that was a good remedy for Dark Side Anakin, why would they keep the "no relationships’ rule for everyone else?

everyone else presumably had time to be indoctrinated. Jedi start training as infants, taught to temper their emotions and such.

I’m not very much into the start wars theories, but are they really against passion and romantic bonding in general?
I thought, that’s only for their active members, so they can’t be compromised that easily

  Yeah it’s for all members of the Jedi order, but they want Anakin to stay in the Jedi Order and it’s probably the beat way for him to avoid being seduced by siths or learn to control his emotions.

    Thanks, I see
    
    I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to start wars, so thanks for the insight :⁠-⁠)

There are probably people who care about the idea enough to have it polished, but I’m not one of them, sorry. I think it was a weird fusion of the idea that the council must have known he was already ‘too old,’ that he was potentially the most dangerous being in the galaxy, that he trusted padme, and that he was clearly emotionally fragile. It’s not like anyone could have missed the moon eyes he was making towards her at all times, so something like they were trying to make the best of a bad situation, where if she had rejected him outright he was going to go all moody teenager but with a lightsaber instead of a guitar and badly written rhymes.

It just so happens that ‘whoops!’ It happened because of what they did rather than in spite of it.
