Right, no DB can enforce checks for things that could be true but aren't (e.g. a trigger can't prevent you from wrongly entering an adult woman as pregnant, she might even look pregnant to the eye and not be). But a DB can prevent you doing things that don't make sense (e.g. age must be a positive number, men can't be pregnant, etc etc).
