From the Paper:

"The absence of life insurance from our lives can have adverse effects. For example, in case of the untimely death of a person who had the financial responsibility of his entire family, if there is no life insurance, the family would be broken both emotionally and financially. With no other source of income, the family members will have to face the new situation and alter and adjust their life styles accordingly, giving up some of their dreams. In the long run, this can have negative effects, in the sense that in the absence of proper income, it can make the young family members wander off in wrong directions, causing them more trouble. "
