Not likely, since a Maryland state registered domestic partnership is not "comprehensive" in that it only offers limited rights and responsibilities and is not substantially equivalent to marriage.

No, but the rules were different for each. Same-sex couples had to both be 18-years-old or older to register. Opposite-sex couples had to be 62-years-old or older. No new domestic partnerships can be registered in New Jersey after February 19, 2007, although older ones are still legally recognized under NJ state law, as are domestic partnerships registered in other states, regardless of date.
