After endless disdain by men, old queen divorces male of the same age (12)
I believe the answer is:
contemporary
'old queen divorces male of the same age' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'after endless disdain by men' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'disdain' becomes 'contempt' (synonyms).
'by men' becomes 'orary' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'contempt' with its last letter taken away is 'contemp'.
'contemp' put next to 'orary' is 'CONTEMPORARY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contemporary that I've seen before include "Modern in style or design" , "current" .)
