Answer:

- Violation of personal rights

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the details provided, the given situation would exemplify a 'breach of personal rights.' It would be considered 'Larceny' meaning 'unlawful taking of the personal property as an attempt to deprive the legal owner of it permanently,' Says the FBI. Therefore, the couple can be charged under the violation of the man's individual/personal rights as they took his money without even asking for his consent. Such a crime has a punishment of imprisonment of the guilty for five years along with the fine depending on the amount or amount of property is taken over and how.
