It's self explanatory, and protects YOU from scandal, because if you did become pregnant you would be dragged through the mud for breaking a religious rule imposed on you. Maybe it doesn't seem fair, as you celebrate finally being officially rid of this man, but after 2 years what is 3 months to satisfy your community (And save his face)?
No, maybe you cannot be pregnant by him, but obviously being pregnant by another would cast doubt on your own piety, and the honor of your family, during this OFFICIAL time. You should consult with your local religious leader or an older female if you need a better explanation, to save you from gossip, and shame as the consequence of breaking the religious RULES.
