That would indicate a younger individual. Or at least one young at heart. God doesn't miss anything.
Please quote where God says that "man lying with man is an abomination".
Please quote where God says that marriage has to involve "lying with each other".
Please quote where God says you shouldn't marry more than one partner.
Please quote where God determines that 12 year olds shouldn't marry 45 year olds?

Unlawful Sexual Relations
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. 3You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. 5Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

24“ ‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
29“ ‘
Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
King James Version of Leviticus 20:13.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
