No. The term "civil partnership" is used in several European countries to describe what in the United States would be called a "civil union." Mississippi law does not recognize civil unions or civil partnerships. It does, however recognize civil marriages between parties of opposite genders only.

You may be violating the law since you would need to commit perjury on your application for domestic partnership. When two people submit an application for domestic partnership (as with an application for a marriage license) each must swear that neither person is married to someone else or is a member of another domestic partnership with someone else that has not been terminated, dissolved, or adjudged a nullity. If you lie about your status on the application, any subsequent legal relationship you sought to create would be invalid.
