or you can program your own precise business logic in the clean() method
of the model including raising a ValidationError if info doesn't stack up.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.clean

Although you can do it in the form, IMHO the advantage of using the
clean() method in the model is keeping validation as close to the data
as possible - where it belongs!
