We were married only one and half month in the tax year 2023.

Yes, you can file jointly for federal and separate for state tax if you were a resident of California and your husband was resident of Pennsylvania.  If you only lived/worked in California and he only lived/worked in Pennsylvania, neither of you has to file as a non-resident in the other sate.  You both need to be able to show that you maintained separate residences in your respective state.
