The Tuareg people (despite being predominantly Muslims) have a culture where men veil their faces, while women do not

Touaregs are Muslim but their society has a matriarchal structure where lineage, property, and inheritance pass through the mother.

It's matrilinear, not matriarchal. It's a patriarchal society with matrilinear kinship.

Edit: for more depth see comment below from u/AdAlternative7148

To describe Tuareg social organization as “matriarchal” is to conflate matrilineal descent reckoning with the institutional distribution of gendered authority. A more analytically defensible formulation would characterize it as a predominantly androcentric sociopolitical regime embedded within a matrilineally articulated kinship structure, wherein descent, filiative identity, property transmission, and certain successionary prerogatives are mediated through the uterine line without thereby constituting a generalized inversion of patriarchal power relations.

So I wasted y'alls drinking water some more by asking chatgpt to simplify this comment.

I had to ask thrice, but here we go;

The Tuareg follow the mother’s family. But men are still often in charge.

Next time save some water by just going straight to asking it to explain like you're 5.
