∙ 12y agoYes. The state of Connecticut recognizes legal relationships substantially equivalent to marriage as legal marriages. Since California state registered domestic partnerships are substantially similar to legal marriage under California law, they are therefore recognized as legal marriages for purposes of Connecticut state law.CT Public Act 09-13, Section 1. A marriage, or a relationship that provides substantially the same rights, benefits and responsibilities as a marriage, between two persons entered into in another state or jurisdiction and recognized as valid by such other state or jurisdiction shall be recognized as a valid marriage in this state, provided such marriage or relationship is not expressly prohibited by statute in this state.
