Did Muhammad violate the Qur’an by marrying 16 wives instead of 4?

It’s a known fact that polygamy was practiced in the Old Testament by Abraham...Isaac...Jacob...David and Solomon...But the Koran claims to be a new revelation from God to man and specifically limit the number of wives to four.
In Sura 4:3.
This means that Muhammad sinned against the very Koran he claimed to reveal.

 The Koran condemns more than 4 wives in Q4:3....Most Muslims believe Muhammad was sinless. Therefore Muhammad did not have more than four wives,
However...the facts of history cannot be changed. Informed Muslims like Muslim scholar and statesman Ali Dashti gives the following list of the women in Muhammad's life:

Muhammad’s 16 Wives:

1. Khadija   2. Sawda   3. Aesha (Aesha was only 6 when she was married and eight or nine years old when Muhammad took her to his bed)   
4. Omm Salama
5. Halsa   6. Zaynab (of Jahsh)   7. Jowayriyi   8. Omm Habiba

9. Safiya   10. Maymuna (of Hareth)   11. Fatema   12. Hend

13. Asma (of Saba)   14. Zaynab (of Khozayma)   15. Habla   16. Asma (of Noman)

Muhammad’s 2 concubines/slaves:

1.   Mary (the Christian who refused to be converted to Islam)
2.   Rayhana

Muhammad’s 4 devoted followers who who "gave" themselves to satisfy Muhammad's segxwal desires.
1.   Omm Sharik
2.   Maymuna
3.   Zaynab (a third one)
4.   Khawla

4 is not equal to 16!!! Not to talk of the concubines and free will donors.

Aesha 6yrs (wife no. 3) was only eight or nine years old when Muhammad 54yrs took her to his bed. According to Hadith, she was still playing with her dolls
This is an except:
Sahih Bukhari 5.234…
Narrated Aisha:
…”The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age….”

Quotes from Mohammad’s own words:
Sahih Bukhari 9.140

Narrated 'Aisha:
...Allah's Apostle said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen...

This sickening act is still carried out today…(an example was a minister in our beloved Nigeria)…In Islamic countries an eight-or-nine-year-old girl can be given in marriage to an adult male…
This side of Muhammad's personal life is something that many so called Islamic scholars pass over  because they do not want to hurt the feelings of fellow Muslims. Yet, history cannot be rewritten to avoid confronting facts…

Mary... the Coptic Christian, refused to marry Muhammad because she would not renounce Christianity and embrace Islam. She bravely chose to remain a slave rather than convert.
The documentation for all the women in Muhammad's dictatorial love nest is so vast and has been presented so many times by able scholars that only the blind reject it.

For Further reading
...as usual...if you can not read The Arabic Version/Translation of The Kouranic Hadith…look for the English Version/Translation:
 (Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:, Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64, … Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65…. Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88 ,… Sahih Bukhari 7. 18… and many more
