Not as such
Whereas there is no law limiting the number of occupants in a car, the driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is not overloaded.
But, there IS a legal requirement for every occupant to use either a seatbelt or juvenile seat restraint.
Since car manufacturers only provide one seatbelt per seat, then this prevents two people sitting on the same seat, which answers your question.

YES! You could be ticketed, fined, or given a warning the first time. However, what should be even more important to you is the potential for MAJOR injury or death should you be in an accident while seated that way. And don't think it can't happen to you.
Most accidents happen within 5miles of home.

A correctly worn seatbelt/car seat can mean the difference between injury and death.

The law is quite clear that there can be no more than 1 person per seatbelt in the vehicle. Thus if you have 4 sealtbelts, you can only have 4 persons.

YES!
In the past women used to carry their babies on their laps, then crushing them between their bodies and the dash board in a car accident.
