Without which

Hi,

They want money, without which they will starve. Do we need 'will' here?

Thanks,

Not necessarily. You could say "going to" instead. " You do need either "will" or "going to" in this sentence.

Not necessarily. You could say "going to" instead. Thus, "They want money, without which they are going to starve."

You do need either "will" or "going to" in this sentence.

You do not need 'will' or any other auxiliary, but the result is rather literary.
