Apparently the above comes from the true religion.
The proper translation is very important.
Some Upanishads are for materialists and not for devotees of the Lord.
It is a poem about a story which I have no interest, but you with your lusty mind may enjoy it.
Here is the true translation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
She is the best of women whose garments are pure 1. Therefore let him approach a woman whose garments are pure, and whose fame is pure, and address her.
7. If she do not give in 2, let him, as he likes, bribe her (with presents). And if she then do not give in, let him, as he likes, beat her with a stick or with his hand, and overcome her 3, saying: 'With manly strength and glory I take away thy glory,'--and thus she becomes inglorious 4.
8. If she give in, he says: 'With manly strength and glory I give thee glory,'--and thus they both become glorious.
Now a stick is a small feather cane, and fists are a threat only. (like showing a child in the classroom the cane/ruler)

I personally have never seen or read this stuff because it is on the other side of the Vedas with the Karma Sutra.
The Vedas are immense (a billion verses) and they contain the highest spiritual knowledge (the 18 volume Srimad Bhagavatam and the famous Bhagavad Gita) and they also have stories of mundane materialist pursuits that are meant to illustrate.
The stories must not be taken out of context and must be translated and interpreted correctly..............(understood little sparrow)
If a person is a gross materialist, he can go to the opposite end of the Vedas and absorb his/her mind in the Karma Sutra.
I am not surprised that an agitator like yourself has spent his time digging around in the parts of the Vedas that are for Karmis and atheists and materialist. .
Come to the opposite end and absorb your mind in the sweet knowledge of the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita.
