I don't know why the nobility has accepted this madness.

Plot convenience, I imagine.

The writers wanted the drama of having an obstacle to the relationship and had a very credible reason why a marriage between Arthur and Guinevere would never be accepted, with the bonus of having Morgana successfully set Guinevere up to look like she'd been cheating on Arthur the day before their wedding was due to take place, which should have been a deal-breaker, even if she was of royal or noble blood. However, at the same time, they had no intention of not having them get married so, when it came to it, the nobility apparently had no issue with their King marrying a commoner, and one with a history of infidelity to boot.

It could have been quite a gutsy move for the writers if they'd have it that, with the way the deck was stacked against them, Arthur and Guinevere weren't able to get married.
