1) You have quoted only one definition of "disordered".

2) You quoted a second, not first, definition.

I will not attempt to speculate as to why you have chosen to do these things, as I am not a mind reader. I will simply quote the definitions you chose NOT to quote, from your own source:

1) lacking organization or in confusion; disarranged.

2) suffering from or afflicted with a physical or mental disorder : a disordered liver.

Also:

nounbr> 1. a lack of order; disarray; confusion
2. a disturbance of public order or peace
3. an upset of health; ailment

Also

n. A disturbance or derangement that affects the function of mind or body, such as an eating disorder or the abuse of a drug. v. dis·or·dered , dis·or·der·ing , dis·or·ders To disturb the normal physical or mental health of; derange.

Also:

noun 1. lack of order or regular arrangement; confusion: Your room is in utter disorder.
2. an irregularity: a disorder in legal proceedings.
3. breach of order; disorderly conduct; public disturbance.
4. a disturbance in physical or mental health or functions; malady or dysfunction: a mild stomach disorder.

verb (used with object)
5. to destroy the order or regular arrangement of; disarrange.
6. to derange the physical or mental health or functions of.

I offer these additional definitions in the hope that folks will find them useful and informative.

Well, then, “breach of order” works best for me. Because you should wait until you are married, although I think it is fair to say most of us did not.
