Bible Answer:  Here is the NIV translation of these verses in context starting with verse 13:

13 If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," 15 then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. 16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver [2] and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.

Basicly if a man didn't like his wife all he had to do was say she wasn't a virgin when I married her. In the law this was a major deal. If the parents of the wife could prove she was a virgin (per manners and customs of the time, when the man and wife first laid together it was "witnessed" and a cloth that would catch the blood of her opening would be given to the parents. This is the token of her virginity it is speaking of.) then the husband could never divorce her and he had to pay the parents a fine. If however, the tokan or cloth couldn't be produced then the woman was to be stoned to death for her transgression against the law. Does this help you to understand more?
