False.Braith Achlys said:They forbid attachments to keep powerful force dynasties from springing up.
Alric Kuhn said:False.
The Jedi Code is designed to stop attachments to stop the flow of powerful emotions that lead to the darkside of the force. This is perfectly explained and shown in all three of the prologues. Obi-Wan cares greatly for his Master, when his Master is killed he skirts the line of the darkside to avenge him. Anakin loves his mother, when she dies he slaughters an entire Tusken Tribe. When Anakin loves Padme he begins to fear for her death and thus...well falls to the darkside and becomes one of the worst Sith ever.
Attachment is forbidden by the code because attachment inevitably breeds powerful and uncontrollable emotion, said emotions lead to the darkside. This is a theme throughout the prequel trilogy.
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
When Yoda says this he leaves out what causes that fear, but that cause is revealed by Anakin, by Obi-Wan, and many others who have fallen(or nearly have).
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_CodeJedi do not marry (with some exceptions), in order to avoid attachment and—according to Vergere—so as not to create dynasties of those strong in the Force. However, in many periods of the Order's history, such as the era prior to Exar Kun and in Luke Skywalker's reformed Jedi Order, marriage was not forbidden. That being said, celibacy was enforced in many periods of the Order's history.

The whole attachment thing was an Old Republic bunch of poodoo anyways. It was enforced during the time of Exar Kun up until the formation of the New Order and the destruction of the old Jedi Order.Kira Talith said:*waves the Shamalain Talith Liadain dynasty flag*
Too late.
The theme is incredibly clear throughout the prequel trilogy and is displayed throughout the films many times as well as in dozens of other instances in lesser canon, including comics, novels, SWTOR, and other places. Perhaps not creating dynasty's was part of it, but it would have been a very very small part. The ultimate reason for the rule was to stop attachments, which breed emotions. Not to stop the making of babies, otherwise it would've been "Don't kark."Jedi do not marry (with some exceptions), in order to avoid attachment and—according to Vergere—so as not to create dynasties of those strong in the Force.
