That is true, but there is also a flip-side to this situation: Its not so much that they are pressured into getting married, they really want to get married. Coming from outside of Islam, where men have virtually no accountability towards the women that they use, no respect, and do not know how to treat them, many women who find Islam and learn about marriage in Islam are just amazed with the honor, the respect, the comfort and peace they find in marriage within Islam, so they want to get married. Some born Muslims see marriage as something not that urgent while they are young, or something more cultural than religious. I think the pressure to get married is not there for most of us, because our families oppose the fact that we became Muslim, so they definitely dont want us to go and marry a Muslim... As a revert myself, I think the resources most needed are groups where new Muslims can spend time with eachother, and with born Muslims, and people of knowledge in the community. there should be someone who they have access to, to call or to go to with questions and to ask for help.
