Yes. Like any other person, a domestic partner that meets the IRS' criteria for a dependent can be considered a dependent. The IRS does not require that a dependent be related to the taxpayer in any particular way, nor that the relationship be recognized by any law.

How can i claim my husband as a dependent?

You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.
