That depends on the reason why domestic partnership was denied. Many requirements for domestic partnership do not apply to legal marriage; for example, you must live together to register as domestic partners, but you are not required to live with your legal spouse. Some domestic partnership registries require that you be a government employee whereas there is no such requirement for marriage. If the reason domestic partnership was not possible is related to geography, employment or residency, then these barriers will not prevent you from marrying. You may, however, need to travel to another state to marry and your home state may not recognize that marriage.
The requirements are generally that you the parties be unmarried, live together, and be of sufficient age. Some domestic partnership registries are available only to same-sex couples, but some registries are also open to opposite-sex couples. Domestic partnership is not available in all jurisdictions, although many places do not require local residency to obtain a certificate.
Generally, domestic partnership is not a bar to marriage, even if it is with someone else. However, if your domestic partnership is with a statewide registry and is substantially equivalent to marriage, then some states may recognize your domestic partnership as a marriage. If that is the case, then you must dissolve your domestic partnership before you can marry another person.
